Winco is exactly right

A few weeks ago I made the point that the 'pay up or XH558 gets it' appeal just passed the target and yet within a very short time, another appeal for £100k went out as the original appeal appeared not to have allowed for contingency. Now we have another 'please can we have another £350k' appeal for the winter service.

I repeat, the guys who keep the Vulcan going are heros (and heroines) but have not had the best of support from senior management.

What is obvious is that the management of the project have had little success in finding on-going financial support that does not require emotional blackmail. That is my criticism
