The latest from the 'GE' website;

"A question which may be playing on peoples minds, when our scheduled date for departure was February. The reason for this is quite a simple one; we are still awaiting clearance from the CAA for our aircraft and are unable to depart until this clearance is given. We are sorry to our followers for the delay and will keep everyone updated as we receive news. We will however be going it's just a matter of when, so if you have sponsored a mile or are looking to do so please be assured your donations are not in vain, projects of this size always run into minor set backs."

That rings bells from just over 12 months ago, but I suppose then the excuse was quite good, with a war going on and all that.

We'll see !!
