"It’s with great sadness from the VC10 rescue and relocation team from Bruntingthorpe looking after ZD241 & ZA147 that we have now closed down the go fund me fundraising campaign and go fund me are now in the process of returning your very kind donations.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable to raise anything close to our huge target and after 1 month of fundraising we raised £4814. It’s at this point were we are required to withdraw funding and at that point it starts to cost the group money. The decision was taken to allow the fundraising run for one month then look at how much money had been raised. Given the small amount raised against our target it was time to close the account down and refund everyone.
The VC10 team would like to thank everyone who took the time to donate and raise awareness of our rescue campaign. If we’d have had a longer time scale I truly believe we could have raised the funds but sadly time was always against us.
So what happens next: We have until 31st October to move the jets and at that point should they still be at Bruntingthorpe then court action will be taken against the aircraft’s owner and it then will be up to him to remove them.
We don’t know at this point what the future holds for the two Brunty VC10’s and we will keep you all up to date of any information we get.
Thank you for all your help"
