MarkSH Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Very good news, Just a thought having been at Waddington last year but Perhaps with the extra money they could employ someone to make sure all the paperwork is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Séan Pádraig Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Just a reprieve I'd say... Good news for those enthusiasts hoping to see the aircraft fly again, but I suspect take the opportunity to see it while you still can, this kind of air craft has only one future and that is sadly on the ground.

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Crumbs - I really didn't think they'd make it - last time I visited the appeal site was last night and it really didn't look good. Congrats to the team - hopefully this will be the last time she goes from one emergency to another (crosses fingers). Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalguru Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well I for one am glad- Tell you what- IF I knew the guy- I WOULD say- there's a fiver- you did us all proud. However- I would be hesitant to drop a fiver into a bottomless pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, despite my views on the other thread, I am very happy for them, if you are rich and can afford it, I cannot think of many better ways to spend it. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels49 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 To some it may appear a waste to me .............it's money well spent..What this means cannot be summed up by bean counters as no monetary value can be placed on History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm really glad someone has stumped up the money, but I predict that in 12 or so months time they will have another crisses and will want another similar sized wad of cash.

Yep,and there'll be some affluent American waiting with the readies and she'll be gone to the States.
