Well, it is indeed good news - thanks to all those who still have some faith in the project! I'm still unsure why the salary bill is so high though - or why Plemming should have netted £72K.

The VTTS stand was doing very brisk trade throughout Farnborough week - even though it was a very long way from the rest of the show area. So I would imagine that a lot of folk do indeed wish to support them. As for donations, to my mind keeping the Vulcan flying is far more worthy than, for example, donating to Richard Noble and Dead Dogs' 1000 mph car project..... Thrust SSC, the first supersonic car, really was a 'first' for Britain - but Bloodhound does seem rather pointless. Although I wish it good luck.
