Let's not get too carried away here folks.
The £2.5m has only been ring-fenced, there is still a long way to go to actually get the money from HLF.
Does anyone have an idea of how long we now have
to raise the extra cash in order for the money to be released?
I wouldn't be at all suprised if the HLF have set a tight deadline, after which the money will go elsewhere.
Once the money has been released, the biggest hurdles remain, making her airworthy and obtaining the magical Permit to Fly.
