That's OK, BEags, I am sure you are not alone. However, Pleming did say that he must have £400k by the end of October - a mere 4 days away. How well has he faired? The last I heard was that he received a total of £100k up to 20th October! What about the other £300k? If he has insufficient funds to continue I imagine he would be duty bound to act decisively.
I have operated aeroplanes for too long to know that they are more greedy than a herd of sheep and if you ain't got the money you ain't got an operation. Since commerical aviation took to the skies it has ever been thus. If a benefactor did appear it would need a lot more than £400k anyway.
