Very sad news: I hope there is more news to come out, but surely that would have been done at the same time as the closure notice?

Maybe someone can pick up the loose ends. One thing is for sure: Lufthansa will want to recoup as much as possible and so a going project with all paperwork will be worth a great deal more than one that’s been pushed outside for months and left to rot.

But fingers crossed there is another bit of news still to be announced regarding the ‘Germany’ rumours. You’d have to ask which side of the pond is it more safe?

Please tell me they’ll be saved! Love the Coronado.

…while they do the practical stuff instead of posting news of minutely incremental progress maybe?

I assume it’s in the Atlantic? So what investigation of the crash site exactly? Should be very easy to find after all…

This forum’s inability to quote is deeply annoying but anyway…

MFowler said, “All of which might make one wonder, after raising – and spending – millions of dollars over the past three decades, what has TIGHAR actually done?”

Answer: it’s funded a nice lifestyle for key members and that’s all. And certainly nothing that adds in the way of aviation research.

Typical TIGHAR “attack is the best for of defence” policy. I’d guess that Gillespie now realises that the number of trusting folks who are prepared to fund his lifestyle is dwindling. As others have said, the group has never recovered anything of worth and done little (if anything) in the way of unbiased, scientific research.

It’s a long game, aiming always to gather more cash.

Fair points: apologies from an old curmudgeon 🙂

I do wish it well though and really hope it’s all above board.
