Sad but inevitable.  It's been gobbling up cash faster than a banker's bonus.

Looks like it will consume three quarter's of a million Pounds to get through next year.  One could have a pretty good wake for that sort of money.

Personally I've always thought this was an expensive indulgence from the start.  Did all those who have donated know it was never going to fly beyond 2014?

Spotted on another forum, posted by a well-known Irish aviation expert and accountant.
