I would guess that you have, at the very least, ‘affiliations’ with Marshall. As an example of what I’ve suggested, perhaps you could supply a breakdown of the £750,000 required for the ‘First Test Flight’, a figure based on current estimates and Marshall Aerospace of Cambridge projections. Without explanation, £750,000 for a test flight makes no sense at all.
Thank you for your observation that I ‘may be sailing very close to the wind with my insinuations’. I’m probably long enough in the tooth to handle that; and to recognise when a raw nerve has been prodded.
And why would you think that Marshall have any interest in what is posted on this forum?
As for my 'affiliation' with Marshall - guess again ! Another one of your conclusions jumped into with both feet.
It is my understanding that there will be a series of test flights, not just one. I suppose the figure of £750000 will go someway to paying for the time of those members of the winged master race conducting the flights.
