I’m glad of one thing and one thing only. The notices of termination of employment should be withdrawn.
In all honesty I have to say I’m pleased for those that have donated. May they enjoy another season of flying without fear of interruption due to a lack of cash.
But even in their hour of triumph, the management can’t resist another opportunity to divert the blame away from them. I quote…..
“We have to temper this great news with the fact that our Public Appeal has been waning compared with previous years, probably as a result of the poor economic conditions and the weariness of boom and bust cycles.”
Don’t those who donate, possibly more than they can afford, find the quote above more than a little insulting? It’s aimed purely at the supporters because, let’s face it, how many of the general public even know the website and appeal exist? Let alone care about it!
So, enjoy the next two months or so before the begging bowl, aka known as the next appeal, comes out for yet another airing.
To see the project go down the pan now would be to see all the investment so far go to waste. That shouldn’t happen, but with the current management in charge, I fail to see things improving dramatically.
Enjoy the Vulcan, enjoy the season, but perhaps it’s time for those who have supported this from the beginning to sit down and take a long hard look at the management. What you then have to decide is simple. Is the project surviving because of the management? Or in spite of them?

Kev,
Not often do I find myself echoing what you write here (;) ) but you saved me having to quote the sentence from Pleming that really stuck in my craw.
Until they rid themselves of the current management (who are no doubt toasting themselves with bottles of Dom Perignon Vintage 1995 White Gold Jeroboam as I type) then this is one “supporter” who won’t be sending another penny the way of XH558 once my pledge is honoured.
I have no doubt that until this individual stepped in then those redundancies would have happened and Pleming would have walked away to his next ‘job’…
I expect to be slagged off as one of the ‘doom merchants’ but look back at my previous posts in this thread and you’ll see I was not always so negative.
I am happy that she has been given a reprieve but that is what it is – a reprieve – it will give Pleming the space to dream up some new ultimatums to send out as press releases to the great British public next year……
…we are ordinary folk from whom you cannot extract the micturate any longer.
He’ll have a damn good try……
