The HLF will not set a precedent, face it. Its not their fault that the money has evaporated and its all well and good saying they should give more cash etc, but then like all the other arguments, you'll need to use it again next month when there is unsufficient cash.
In simplistic terms, an airworthy V flew in to Bruntingthorpe and an 80% (at best) one can't fly out despite everyones best endeavours.
