Good on you Fitter. Modern clubs must be pretty droll places. The 'ballast' went on to an honours degree in physics at Imperial College and a telephone number salary - he still remembers that flight though because I wasn't the pilot!
And I think we are well OT. I have read all of this thread right back from where it started and I have to say it makes very interesting and infuriating reading. The initial mistake was made by the PE in allowing their Airships to go ahead and spend all that money. Everything else is history as they say.
I used to get rung up by the PE about this time of year and asked if I had a project on hand that needed a couple of million, and 'could I hurry it up' to get it in the current financial year otherwise some unspent money would be snatched back!!
