Not quite fair burlington bert,
Smiler is a very busy guy as we move toward the operational phase, more so than during the restoration! The reduced numbers actually working physically during this latest phase of work to permit, means Smiler and the rest are all working flat out, they have achieved the latest work set them in well under the expected time scale and are now mainly involved in keeping the aircraft serviceable for flight tests, once MA give a date when all the necessary support functions and personnel are in place.
Additionally, the project engineers have little appetite for daily updates to forums where, in all their endeavours, they have received a non-ending and largely unfounded stream of accusations, insults, inuendo and personal axe grinding from opinionated, ill-informed and downright mischief making types, who like to appear experts, anonimously of course! Consider yourself lucky anyone from the project even bothers at all, God knows there is nought in it for them but grief. So, please back off and leave them to do the job and get the Vulcan ready for display.
Oh! as for me updating the Engineering Update, dream on dude, Smiler does it so well. Much as I try to respond as honestly as possible and am eager to see the truth and not the inuendo here on this forum, with modesty I say I am also maxed out, so my time on here is very limited. Neither Smiler or I have anytime, and certainly no duty, to perform the task you expect just at the moment. Remember there are other forums making the same demands too and we all have to have some private life too!
Personally speaking, I frankly I don’t care if any of the various forum based self-appointed management or technical experts, carpers, wingers, moaners, malcontents or disaffected ex-employees, are not updated as often as they feel their self-inflated importance may require. They have nothing positive or constructive to offer to help towards those actually engaged in the battle to get to the Vulcan a Permit to Fly.
At the end of the day, the project being completed is what I am about and all my efforts go to that goal. My sense of duty makes me feel I should try to inform the silent majority of great people, who, even if they have concerns, continue their efforts to quietly support the Vulcan in a truly British way. The 558 Club is the focus for that effort and that forum is where what time I have to spare is mainly spent, trying to keep the dedicated supporters as well informed as I may be able to do! You will find most of the answers there along with the real experts on what’s happening at the project.
So why not join the 558 club and actually help instead of sitting on the sidelines with the armchair generals and critics, genuine supporters are always welcome and we always need Volunteers to actively assist. 😉
Cannot be anyone from the TVOC with that attitude.
if so than he or she is a discrace to the whole system .
posting anonimously should not be from any of the TVOC team .
Bullshooter is just another anonimously poster and offers nothing for the cause of the project,
should change is username to bulls..er.
