Thought HLF said that they will not pay for an aircraft to fly, but can pay for its restoration to flight, if HLF pay more money out to 558 then they should have bailed out every other scheme they funded and then went tits up.
You cant have one rule for one and one rule for another.
Whats more important paying for one aircraft (of which a dozen of the same type are preserved on the ground) to fly or saving the last of the great tea clippers or preserving a great building that has much more significant heritage value to the nation?
Sorry but 558 would ot get my vote, I cant see her being ground after one poor season she will fly again mark my words.
