This really is 'last chance saloon' time for 558.
To all those who have not thought too much about it - NOW is the time to act and do something constructive and make a pledge to save her !! Time is rapidly running out !!
We can not let her be grounded/mothballed or sold - it would be absolutely heartbreaking to all those involved in the project from it's outset. The Engineers spilt blood, sweated,cursed and busted thier guts to get 558 to as many shows in 2008 as was possible. Attendances were up by some 20% wherever she appeared... she needs a second season in the air, and another chance to get the sponsorship she duly deserves.
For the sake of the only flying Vulcan on the entire planet...... PLEASE MAKE A PLEDGE and save this wonderful iconic piece of English Heritage.
Bitching and arguing about how things are currently run etc... is a waste of energy at this current point. The iminent destiny of 558 is what matters to me.
I just find it odd that folks who supposedly 'love all things aviation' are at loggerheads and can't be bothered to lob in a few quid to save 1 iconic aircraft.
