A business enterprise built on; "hope"...>>>

Quote:
"Mr McGlennan also said investors in the Airland project had been "very supportive" since the landing.

"They understand a business like this is involved in innovation, innovation is the business of doing things and sometimes when you do things for the first time, sometimes it doesn't work out quite how you'd hoped.""
End quote.

Oh no, not again! :doh:

The world’s largest derriere continues its trail of disaster. What kind of damage will it do when it actually starts flying??? :shock:
