If I were to make a comment

There is no on-going finance or support in place after 5 years. Each year we have seen the staff issued with redundancy notices and the begging letters stating that the Vulcan would be grounded or sold unless a certain sum is raised. This week the deadline passed without the funds being raised, but the project is on-going.

The constant threats and begging is showing diminishing returns so the next one will show even less income.

Dr Pleming has made a good living out of the project - 3 times my income - but the Vulcan is still not secured. A football manager in his position would have been sacked years ago
