FANTASTIC!!!
And there’s more
Your efforts have given two of our long term philanthropic supporters the confidence to donate £150,000.00 of dedicated funds to finance the Test Flight Program
Extract from press release
“Once again, our supporters are significantly exceeding our expectations”, continues Robert Pleming. “Thanks to their continuing generosity, I am delighted to announce that we have now sailed past our initial funding target of £150,000, largely due to two major donations. But the decision to proceed could only be made be made by trusting our supporters that this fund-raising momentum will continue, because we are still reliant on maintaining a donation income of at least £50,000 per month to make it to the airshow season. Once we make it to our first few airshows, we are convinced that we will see both fund-raising momentum and sponsorship interest increase substantially
Dr. R. Pleming, CE, VTST
We are on the way but we do need to keep the momentum
