Okay, exactly how much do they need to do what? There are THREE figures mentioned here, £1,000,000, '£250K' and £200K by the end of the month - so which of these figures is correct and what will that enable them to do:
1) Get it into the air for one flight to Duxford or
2) Allow it to fly for 10-15 years against all odds of increasing insurance and fuel costs, which are surely not going to be met by any air show organiser? Also, how many trained aircrew are going to be around to fly it?
It would be great if it was the latter, but there are an awful lot of optimistcs on here!
