News from Bruntingthorpe seems to have dried up, and the VOC website has not been updated since 26 March. Is this an ominous indication that all is not well?

Also might i suggest that a remaining member of the committe may be inclined to paint a different picture so it appears there was nothing more to it.
As I said this is a club matter but I will ask…

resignations
The following is a quote from a member of the VTS Club Committee….
Mr Poole has resigned as chair of the Vulcan to the Sky Club of his own free will, and contrary to the beliefs of certain rumour mongers, he was not pushed & there is no conspiricy, and as such this the business of the club and the club alone…. it will not affect the running of the club and definitly not affect the Project in any way shape or form.It appears there has been a large amount of S**T stirring over this unfortunate state of affairs so perhaps it can now be put to bed and forgotten about??
What about the 2 others that resigned at the same time. Not connected??

it would help the case if these reasons were spelled out on the site. no information leads to conjecture. just to say someone (in this case the chairman) has resigned for no given reason what would you think.
it is also on the tvoc site it doesn’t say chairman of what…….surely you see how this sort of thing can be misconstrude…….
the less information given doesn’t help the cause IMO.
anyway as you rightly say Geoffrey is now free for whatever reason to do what he wants to do, be it work on his hunter or help us with our (and his) beech 18.

Fantastic, Sea Hawk. :rolleyes:
Link from one misinformed thread to another. I’m sure that between the two, you’ll be able to come up with enough conjecture and speculation to sully even the most positive of minds.
As for Geoffrey Pool’s resignation! My my, talk about mountains from molehills!! Geoffrey was the Chairman of the Vulcan 558 Club. NOT TVOC or VTTS Geoffrey had held the post for quite a while, and had decided, at this years AGM, where it is tradition for a percentage of the committee to stand down for re-election, to himself step down and let somebody else take the reins. He is quite an old chap, and wanted to spend a little more time with himself and his wife. No great conspiracy there I’m afraid.
Can I suggest you do indeed visit http://www.tvoc.co.uk and the forums, where you can ask questions to your hearts desire, that will be answered honestly, and by the people actually rebuilding XH558.

I think that both sides of the argument are strongly represented on the thread in question – you have certainly had your say in it. It also discusses some of the technical issues and also has contributions from those with considerable experience of operating the type. One can read both sides of the argument, some views down the middle and draw one’s own conclusions.

Well, if they do manage to get her up before the end of the summer, September the 5th at Plymouth Sound would be a wonderful arena at the Land/Sea/Air Show.
(Plus, it would be very easy for me to get to).

worth searching in the “search news” box for resignations

chairman resigns!!
No one resigned as far as I know, unless you would care to elaborate on your statement.
Might be one or two of em been carted off suffering from exhaustion though considering the hours they have been putting in these past weeks.

Not involved in any way, other than a member of the club, but one of the crew told me he expected engine runs in the next couple of weeks, and handing over to them by mid to late August.
