    What do you reckon the break even point is on a 380 purchase ??? ie, bums on seats at X amount of ££££( ticket price ) + sevicing/fuel / crew/ etc costs , amount of flights / time in the air /years owned etc .

    I wonder how many airliners have been purchased & made a loss for their airline ( or negative profit , as its known ) .

    At what point an airliner is ” Paid For ” Is it 15 yrs later when the breaker hands over the ” Scrap Value ” cheque ???

    RAF VC10’s are not included —as they have paid for themselves many times over !!

    You’ll never know how much me & my family have contributed to VTS ????? How many E mails , letters & even phone calls , wishing for more cash I have had from said charity . I am now retired with a slight medical incapacity ,a disabled wife & a limited fixed income . ( My Mrs even sent them a cheque out of housekeeping ) BUT !! No more even the VTS membership has been cancelled .I have the greatest pride in that Bomber & its crews for the defence of the realm , Cold war, red Flag . Falklands , Goose Bay etc etc . I did what I could …but I have prioreties . !!

    You could always try a ” Biggles ” like the Jet Age Museum fund raiser , or maybe something like their replica Gamecock, a long time labour of love & still being worked on .
