Thanks once again for your overwhelmingly constructive input, The Swinging Monkey.
I would try and see things from your point of view, but I don't think my head would fit up your a****ole too.
andrewmcharlton,
The issue was, where are we really at ? What has / hasn't been done ? What are the reallistic prospects of success
Can I suggest a visit to Brunty? There is a hangar full of engineers there who would be delighted to fill you in on the current status of the aircraft, what has been done, and what is left to do. It would also allow you to see for yourself, the aircraft state and work completed, and also give you more information with which to base your posts, and possibly a little more faith
