Hi, Michael. According to my 'Pilot' mag which has just arrived, it requires two further 3 hour test flights and a compass swing. The gist of the article is that they are currently living a hand to mouth existence,and having to raise £60.000 permonth just to remain viable. Dr. Pleming, as ever, remains thoroughly optimistic, but also says that," on the sponsorship side, given the amounts under discussion and the current economic uncertainties, decision timescales are likely to stretch well into 2008." I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. I suspect, although only my opinion, that the dream is not going to happen. Please keep up the excellent painting.
