Vulcan XH558 - News Release
Vulcan '09 Pledge Campaign
In August 2006, Vulcan To The Sky launched a pledge campaign to save Vulcan XH558.
The response to that campaign was staggering, with £1.3 million being pledged or donated in just three weeks. As a direct consequence, Vulcan XH558 returned to flight in 2007 and has been the unquestionable star of airshows throughout the summer - entertaining a combined audience of around 1.5 million people.
Unfortunately, Vulcan XH558 will now be grounded forever unless further funding of £1million is identified by early 2009. This funding will allow the project to pay its monthly expenses, clear debt and provide a stable financial footing for the future.
The '09 Pledge Campaign will raise those funds so please sign up (via the Pledge button) and play your part in securing the future of the world's only flying Vulcan. Your pledge will only be called upon when the £1million target is in sight.
Meanwhile, cash-donations (via the eDonate button) will help to secure the project's short-term future. Please remember that even a relatively small monthly pledge is a significant help - if 15,000 supporters were to pledge just £4 per month then (with Gift Aid) the target would be met.
On behalf of all XH558's supporters, our sincere & heartfelt thanks for keeping her flying into 2009.
