You’re not supposed to ask questions like that. Previously they threatened to scrap her if funding was not forthcoming. Does that threat still hold true today? Why does no-one from the organisation come up with any definitive answers?
Effectively, they claim that 558 was bought for the Nation, why then won’t they keep the Nation informed about any progress (or lack thereof) as a matter of course? One would expect a greater degree of transparency in their operations. How can they expect people to keep supporting them financially when the ultimate goal of seeing 558 in the air isn’t getting closer but slipping further away?
Perhaps if they were open about exactly what kind of help they needed and what they could offer in return, some further sponsorship to cover the shortfalls might become available.

Kev,
I fear slipping further away is closer to the truth than we might think.
It doesn’t matter if it’s £350 or £400 hundred grand that’s the shortfall.
It’ll be almost impossible to raise that figure without corporate sponsorship.
The longer it takes, the greater the costs will escalate–through inflation if nothing else.
I just can’t see the sums adding up.
I’d actually be quite impressed to see this project work but it’s money–as always that’s the problem.
It’s money that makes aeroplanes fly–simple as that.
