2013 Display Season To Be The Last

[Mayfly]

[quote="valiant"Do they really need a full time Chief Executive with a Doctorate to oversee the operation of one aircraft that only flys a handful of times 6 months of the year? The original reason for his recruitment was allegedly to use his wealth of experience to attract huge corporate sponserships to fund the aircraft yet this has never materialised, so surely experience should be telling us that someone from his background is merely " overkill " for the job in hand and that it could have been offered to a different individual each season until the right guy was found and the salary adjusted accordingly.

Not so - Dr Pleming has been with 558 since 1999 long before they were in a position to even think about sponsorship because at that time they were still talking with the CAA about the feasability of 558 fly under the P to F banner.

Perhaps they haven't attracted 1 single huge sponsor depends on your view but look on the website to see who does support them the list is quite comprehensive.
