Will there be a jet available??? Seriously tho, be happy to contribute

they are pulling the hanger queens out of AMF (or whatever it is called this week) and going to try and bump start them

We have 2 jets available so that one team can be pulling their jet while the other is being set back up at the start line. It will possibly be 8 teams now, so hopefully we can raise as much as possible!

8 teams with only 2 aircraft? Don't go breaking the maximum taxying distance limitation, the last team will be at a disadvantage if the tyres have blown

I hope you don't give the bean counters ideas. Do away with tugs and towing arms and just use the guys to pull the jet. Save lots of money!

Only a few days until the big event. All donations gratefully received! It really is a big task, pulling a roughly 17 tonne tornado for a whole mile!

We have just hit £400 on the Sport Relief page, and projections are that the teams will have raised around £1500. Any more donations more than welcome!

Bit like shagging a WRAF for two nights on the trot.

Only the WRAF weighs more.
