Hi chaps - we're up past £6k with 20 days still to go!

This is the first ever time we've had the begging bowl out in public; and we've held it off as long as possible (some five years or so since we started heading this direction). Please, please help - even if its just £1 it will make a difference. The team are putting in heroic work on the aircraft; Saturday saw the removal of both of No 4's propellers, a reduction gear "GITS" seal, the refitting of it all and a successful run-up of the engine.

There is more to come and the endoscope we put into WR963's wing a couple of weeks ago showed promising results. We can deliver a flying Shackleton... we just need help!

Kind regards,

Rich W
