Shackleton Taxi runs.

[ecsrobin]

So whilst waiting for my carbon fibre collar stays to arrive that I ordered via the Pistonheads thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=22&...

I happened to stumble upon this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1811202265/av... thought it may interest a few people as I know it's something I'd really like to do and very tempted to although it's that or pay to go in this http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=964...

Anyone help on which one would be better???

Hi all,

With 13 days to go we're just over £8000 towards our structural inspections. We really need your help if we're going to make it!

Besides the taxi run, there are also Griffon pistons, a Michael Rondot Shackleton print, polo shirts and other things available as rewards for different levels of support. We know the Kickstarter platform is a bit clunky to use and requires sign up; but we really would appreciate it if people could take the time - even if its £1 it helps get WR963 closer to flight.

We haven't needed assistance until now, having made it from a dead aeroplane up to a taxying, live and growling Avro masterpiece. We need help to go that little bit further.

Again, help if you can; or share the information if you can't directly.

Kind regards,

That's great to hear your getting close. Hopefully we maybe able to have a PH Sunday service one day soon in support of the Shackleton. I would rather see money going to this than VTTS

9 days to go and £2k to find hopefully they get there! Has anyone mentioned it on any American forums?
