Hi Tim

I do think you are misjudging the impact of the "well-meaning eccentrics" - which I must say comes across as a fairly patronising turn of phrase.

There is evidence here and elsewhere that stories in newapapers are raising awareness, money is coming in etc etc. I mean blimey, if you look at the TVOC homepage even they've been doing something! I'm not suggesting for one minute that this might save the project alone, but a total waste of time, I think not and hope not.

The issue many will have with letting it run its course is the worry that it might fall so flat on its face that it'll never get up again. If it does and someone else picks up the project then that is all well and good but
I don't think anyone can expect the significant number of people who support this project and our aviation heritage in general to stop doing what they can or stop seeking answers - as eccentric as that might sound.
