@ Tim McLelland,
Tim,
Have you actually been over to the site lately?
www.vulcantothesky.com
According to latest figures I can see on there, nearly £100,000 has been pledged in just over a week to keep XH558 flying in 2009.
At this rate, her supporters will keep her flying, buying more time for sponsorship to come on board and giving less concern for so much wasted energy on this forum.
I can see no reason why a yearly pledge fund (hopefully at much lower levels) can keep her going.
Who needs to take her to the USA ?
