So if you were the depositor for s/n 525, your price was £495k. But if you were one of the 'lucky 3' who orders 526-528, you pay £472k. Have I got that right?
And when is the delivery of your ship being promised? How many 'finishing bays' (where owners help build the aircraft) will they have? As each one can only build 25 per year, that's a lot of years until your aircraft turns up.
I am more and more convinced that this project is burning through cash at a rate that is beginning to worry even CRAN (sorry....I mean Jason Hill. They are DEFINiTELY different people). Normal business practice would have been to cap the 'early adopter' list at say 200/250 then charge a premium once you had an aircraft flying as it will still take a few years to get the early ships built. This whole scenario just smacks of a cash grab.
