We don’t expect to make V1, but we do expect to make quite an impact with the press and TV, have a load of fun, and raise a significant amount in sponsorship for BDFA funds.
Planned to take place on the 6 September this year, with a trial and practice in July, we’ll need quite a number to take part – a 757 is a large aeroplane.
Calculations on the BDFA beer mat show that we’ll need 30 to pull it (relatively!) comfortably, and we’d like to have some arm power in reserve too. This hasn’t been tried by anyone, so we’ll be boldly going where no one has been before… setting World records as we go.
What we need first are VOLUNTEERS to sign up for this amazing project, who can commit to raising sponsorship money, having a pretty rigorous workout, and enjoying an incredibly rewarding day out for themselves, friends and family. We have already had some trials, admittedly only using a beautiful Aston Martin, but we are confident that this can be done. See the trial video here.
