BEagle, for once in your life,
SHUT THE F**K UP!!
You are not helping the situation. Infact, you, like many others who may have an 'interest' in the scheme, have the ability to really get under the skin of some of the supporters who have donated their hard earned cash from their own pockets to the cause, with your 'know it all' and 'we know beter' and 'the RAF and the V force would never have happened if it weren't for me' attitude. It realy is getting rather tedious. They haven't donated to your own private fund but to the Vulcan to the Sky project.
If I were you, I would listen to Tim and take on board what he has to say and if you really are 'for' the project, take his recommendations forward to your 'contacts' and start fighting along side the many supporters who have shelled out thousands to get the old girl back in the sky.
Start being positive yourself and push those from the HLF and the 'TRUST' (who no one seems to trust) into action.
Rant switch to safe!!
Tim, were you the same Tim McLelland who was at RAF Hendon in the early 1980's??
Champers!
