Okay, okay, some concrete news at last! I have received a very full and comprehensive reply from Dr Pleming, and in fairness to him, I should say that he appears to be happy to discuss the project and that the situation might not be as bad as it has sounded. I will endeavour to go into the various details with him and if I find-out more I will post-up some news when I have it, but suffice to say that the project isn't off the rails just yet!
