If you have been following my Tweets over the past few days you will have noticed that I now have a Flickr account, I’m currently sifting through my image database and have decided to upload the entire library to a new account, I was using various photographic websites to platform my images as its a good way of getting my work on the media circuit.
I found that I was duplicating images and needless to say it was very time consuming, I have settled on a new flickr account which will give me a bigger platform for my images that didn’t quite make my website or I have shot a subject matter not related to my specialist field.
TEST
As I said I’m slowly working through the files its currently taking me around 24hrs to transfer 2mths of work.
Its a good way of giving my library a spring clean and a way of releasing images that would never have seen the light of a PC screen you will no doubt come across images that you have seen before whilst this transition takes place it will not replace my image galleries.
Click the Flickr link on the menu bar for a bigger feed and easier access.
Thanks For looking

Maybe a few days late on this blog but none the less very important news ( if your a fan of this plane)
25 February 2010 – Robert Pleming
Dear Supporters,
There can now be no doubt that XH558 has a guardian angel looking after her: I can now confirm some really good news that vastly changes the status of our current Appeal.
Shortly, the Results Graph on our appeal site will show a massive increase due to a fantastic confirmed donation of £458,000! The donor has asked to remain anonymous, but I can reassure you that he is fully aware of the significance of this contribution.
As the result, I have pleasure in confirming that the Board of Trustees has decided that VTST now has sufficient funding in place to go forward with the planned engineering programme, and onward to the 2010 Display Season.
We have to temper this great news with the fact that our Public Appeal has been waning compared with previous years, probably as a result of the poor economic conditions and the weariness of boom and bust cycles.
Our main drive this year will be to finally put XH558 onto a firm business footing, with many new income generation schemes: Educational Lectures, New Merchandise, Regional Sponsorship, Competitions, and of course, an ongoing Annual Appeal. We must acknowledge we will continue to need public support, but gear the appeal over the whole year.
We will now focus our campaign on the 50th Birthday Appeal, which will also be marketed through our World Record attempt for signatures on XH558’s Birthday Card, until we launch our fresh campaign in May, aimed at taking XH558 on into 2011.
Very soon, those who have pledged will be receiving their “redemption” letters. Please await their arrival before making payment, so we can accurately record details and apply Gift Aid if applicable.
Your continuing support is much appreciated by everyone who knows what XH558 represents and by all those who have helped XH558 over the years. She is adored and hugely valued by people all over the world. She is quite simply – the one and only!
Each and every one of us owes a deep debt of gratitude to every individual who contributed, no matter how small their donation, for keeping the dream alive.
My sincerest thanks and best wishes to you all,
Robert Pleming.
Vulcan to the Sky Trust.
