Hi All,
Can’t we all just wish them every success for the project I know I do ? As with any other project they need funds and with money getting tighter for everybody all around we have to pick and choose. I would assume the big question would be considering other major restoration to airworthiness projects which are the most likely to succeed in the current financial climate ?

i.e The RED Arrows asking for donations so you can vandalise their aircraft 😀 Just Jane needs money just as other current big projects, VTTS is always needing more and not just in Aviation orientated projects others such as the Bluebird will need to be funded etc.etc.etc. At the end of the day it all comes down to money as to whether these projects fulfil the creators dream as the donators are having to choose between which they see as the more important and viable increasingly.

It does make you wonder for every one that succeeds how many fall by the wayside to struggle for years ? I mean just take the Whirlwind project I love this project but just cannot afford to donate as I had wanted to and will this project suffer because of the new Tiffy project because it’s an airworthy restoration and not a ground running restoration ?

I have mentioned before an idea to offer tax breaks by funding these restorations it not only moves them along but benefits the tax payer as well. I think it was Tony who informed me the government in the UK would not support this idea sadly, such a shame that worthwhile projects are screaming for donations with no break from the government to aid them…..:apologetic:
