Much of this thread has focussed on lies, bad flying and the dubious wearing of service ‘wings’ – but this is all mere detail. The TC-T story is not about a bold, adventurous aviator, nor is it just about a grade-A narcissist flying across the world on a 5-star jolly. It is about a well-funded business arrangement between Bird in a Biplane Ltd and, principally, Artemis and Boeing, along with other lesser-known organisations. The aim of the project was to generate publicity for the sponsors and Tim Kelly energetically orchestrated this – sometimes, it would seem, a little too energetically.
Now we wait with baited breath - will the TC-T
PR machine have nobbled the organisation responsible for dishing out NY Honours ………… or have they got the message in time? Will they have learned from the mistakes made by Portsmouth University, HCAP and others?
And what now for Tracey? I note that her Facebook/Twitter postings have been dormant for the past two months and the Facebook ‘comments’ facility has now been locked; I can’t see any recent additions to her website either. She seems to have gone very quiet just lately.
