No hope. He's already politely declined.
My bets are on Bruce Dickinson. Just seen his name mentioned somewhere
on XH558 discussions about something he might do for the project...
ObUKRM: Hi everyone. I'm still alive. You lot seem to be the same as
ever. Anyone want to buy a CBR6? |

Oh right - I didn't see all of the news report. They've achieved the £1.2M
target so it will fly next year. Superb!

Must have been "a" - it's a mystery donor.
I was expecting Branson to want to get involved, but apparently he wasn't
interested [1]. At least they won't have to paint the Vulcan in Virgin
colours.
[1] Although he did fly in a Lightning at Thunder City in June, to publicise
Virgin Mobile launching in South Africa. From rest to 29,000 feet in 104
seconds, two seconds off the record.

The Typhoon you mean. Well it has a higher flying altitude, longer
range, more versatile, the aircraft quite simply is superb, although an
absolute s*d to support!! And having 4 countries involved in the
design, build etc is a nightmare not only logistically, but also in
specs and build quality. The latest version is coming along nicely
shall we say and the IPT is doing a stirling job, I'll get exact
figures for you if you'd really like them.
Having said that of course, the Lightning has always been a favourite
of mine.

not being an anorak, is there a reason there's a record to 29,000
feet? Why not 30,000? (or, given what year we're in, 10Km)

Interesting, not being an aviation anorak this is probably a numpty
question, how does that compare with more modern stuff like the
Eurofighter wotsit?

The Lightening still gets up there faster. It had an incredibly short
flight range and minimal weapons load though.
