My money is on a ‘sudden miracle’

Mine too!

It’s a catch 22 situation really. I think the project really needs to fail so that the current management step aside, but then if it were to fail, I think the chances of re starting are slim to nil. So maybe we should just hope that she has a good start to the season and Plemming leaves just after another victorious Waddington!

Wanted, £500,000 to keep Vulcan bomber in the air !!! have till friday this week to secure funds. This was reported on 10 o’clock new tonight.

Can see it online here… http://www.itv.com/news

But refuses, or is unable, to provide any supporting evidence.

The point I’m trying to make is this:- Where is your supporting evidence? To be fair, you were asked for it, but simply turned the situation back to Chox and said it’s up to him. You’re also making claims and surly you should therefore provide your supporting evidence?

Personally I think the Vulcan did play a major role in the Falklands… There is a lot more to war than just dropping bombs, and you cant measure success on that alone. Many argue that the Dambusters didn’t play a major role, but the boost in morale alone was major, and that is all part of warfare, no matter when period of time you’re talking about. My evidence to support that… Nothing other than my own discussions with my father (ex Vulcan aircrew!), and reading the odd book!

post a load of bollox and you’ll get challenged

Moggy, I would argue that 90% of what has been posted on the 558 thread is “a load of bollox”… The issue isn’t with the challenge, it’s with the way the challenge is delivered.

I must say, I dont know Chox… I’ve never met the guy… Couldn’t tell him from Adam, but it does seem that no matter what he writes on this thread, he gets slated for it. I’m almost inclined to think that if he suddenly had a change of heart, and said 558 should remain the UK no matter what, then certainly some of the people on here would change their position and say send her to the States!

The fact is that Chox has done considerable research into the subject, and merely asked you to formally present your counter argument. I’m no moderator, but I dont see anything too wrong with that.

Back onto subject… £400,000 in 4 days or the puppy gets it! Thank god… Maybe another month of dissecting the who, what, where and when’s and then we can put 558 to bed!!! Personally, I think TVOC are sat on the money, and will pull off an 11hr miracle… £600,000. There’ no way they wont take advantage of the £600k, and I’m sure they will find the remainder… Or extend the time!

The Enola Gay was never a civilian aircraft.
Are you refering to the CAF’s Fifi?

No idea… I mas merely drawing reference to FMK.6JOHN’s earlier post.

Well done guys for all those pledges on the 24Hr Scramble. I think you exceeded all our expectations.

Joking aside, I’ve not been for some time now, but I’m told it’s merely a shadow of it’s former self, and not that good. Why not stop there for a drink and then go on the the pub in Faldingworth… Fantastic food, and a nice memorial (all be it VERY small) to 300 (polish) squadron on the wall. I say memorial, it’s little more than a couple of small parts, but you’ll be welcomed, and served great food!… And it wont cost a bomb either 😀 Sorry, couldn’t resist that last part!

VX,
He has already explained he cannot and will not answer questions on the forum. Please either pm him for contact info of whomever could anser your questions ok?

Blind questions Peter… I know I wont get an answer… I’m just thinking out loud. You never know… Dr Plemming might just see my post and feel compelled to answer… Then again… probably not!
