Hurn, while I agree with you comment:
Yes, if enough people honour their pledges then we'll get a flying Vulcan this year.
That has to be tempered with the fact that if Aerobytes and Judd Power had not donated one months finances, then the project would not have continued past today. Also if the pledged money is not forthcoming within that month it is my understanding that 558 could still be grounded.
Yes, that's how I see it, hence my 'touch wood' comment in the earlier post.
