    I think it was more to do with the fact that Duxford wanted to charge extra for people going in on the Friday even though they weren’t giving anything extra away.
    They can’t guarantee that private owners are going to turn up and fly or practice on that day.
    I certainly don’t take anything like the P51’s flying for granted ,i think the halcyon days of just flying for the hell of it have gone now,everything comes down to cost,fuel,insurance,maintenance.

    :):eek: Mixed feelings on this from me.
    Question, IF She is made airworthy ,will this do away the facility for riding in her as she does now?.
    Good luck and may they all stay safe and sound.

    May i ask if she would still be able to taxi with passengers once she becomes an airworthy airframe.
    If not, something special may just have been lost.
    I can understand the reasons why,and also the reasons against.

    Blue 2 you have taken the words right out of my mouth, exactly how I feel and exactly who are at fault.

    The only difference next year is they plan to do the fund raising over the whole year……… something that beggars belief it wasn’t done before.

    If the help isn’t forthcoming NOW you won’t have to opportunity to change anything next year.
    Why punish the Vulcan for the mistakes the tvoc have made?
    That situation needs to be changed,new ways of thinking and working and a good trustworthy rapport with the supporters.
    BOTTOM LINE IS,DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE VULCAN FLY -YES OR NO

    Save the political bickering for the administrators later.

    I have torn this years begging letters up.. I am afraid the only way these people will take note of the frustration amongst the supporters is sadly if the funds are witheld until they leave.

    Yep,by then it’s too late.so you get a lose lose situation.
    If the Vulcan isn’t flying they won’t be there to protest against either.
