Hi Paul,
I think many of us share your desire for more transparency and clarity.
I've written to the chairman on the trust, and sent an e-mail to the contact address listed on the Vulcan XH558 e-mail address, so far have not received anything back.
The lack of information is driving people away, just at the time when the core supporters are needed the most. Such a shame.
The other thing I'm unclear on, is what happens if the £200K is not raised - does the trust get wound up? Would the airframe be offered for sale by the administrators? Hopefully it wont come to that, but if we knew, we could be prepared, and have plans in place to safeguard the aircraft. Again - lack of information precludes any serious planning by those who have XH558 at heart.
