I wish I could say that I am surprised, but I am not in the slightest! It is simply one thing after another with this aircraft, and now yet again, the team are asking for more funds and donations to put her in the air.
Frankly, I agree (for once!) with rafloo in that I too hope that Mr B does not help them out. The time has come for the aircraft to be put back together again, and displayed in a museum. No more money (from any area) should be ploughed into this White Elephant of a project.
RIP 558!
