Dear Supporter
You are reading this email because you were happy to let the Vulcan to the Sky Trust or Club have your email address.
In August 2006, Vulcan to the Sky launched a pledge campaign to save Vulcan XH558. The response to that campaign was staggering, with £1.3 million being pledged or donated in just three weeks.
As the direct consequence, Vulcan XH558 returned to flight in 2007 and was the unquestionable star of airshows last summer - entertaining a total audience estimated at 1.5 million people.
Unfortunately, Vulcan XH558 will now be grounded unless further funding of £1million is identified by end of January 2009.
Despite the current economic conditions, we are determined to keep XH558 flying. Confounding everyone's expectations, we succeeded in 2006, and with your help, we can succeed again.
The
Vulcan '09 Pledge Campaign is aimed at raising the funds that XH558 needs, so please sign up and play your part in securing the future of the world's only flying Vulcan.
These pledges will allow the project to pay its monthly expenses, clear debt and provide a stable financial footing for the future. Importantly, it will also give us the breathing space to convert last summer's success into secure long-term commercial funding.
Meanwhile, if you are able to make a cash donation, it will help to secure the project's short-term future.
If each of the 9000 people being sent this email were to pledge just £10 per month then our target would be met. This is equivalent to less than one small bar of chocolate a day - or less than one pint of beer a week - a small sacrifice compared to the pleasure of seeing XH558 flying through 2009!!
Your pledge will only be called upon when the £1million target is in sight.
Please now click here to make your pledge.
Even if you are unable to make a pledge at the moment, please help support XH558 by signing the "Number10" Petition by clicking

Please forward this email on to any of your family, friends and colleagues who might be willing to help.
On behalf of all XH558's supporters, our sincere & heartfelt thanks for helping to keep her flying through 2009.
