This was muted last year I believe and was the topic of messages on WW Forum and I think the Flypast forum.
The threat that 'Sally B' would be sold was used then, and mentioned at last years shows at Duxford. I remember the sponsorship of Flypast being proudly announced by the addition of the logo on the nose, was it at FL2001?.
Point here is if 'Sally B' is sold, what happens to all the money raised by the addition of 'names' - is it lost? If the idea is to raise money by playing on folks generosity and desire to keep 'Sally B' over here, then it may get to the stage where people will say "Ah, but you said last year she'd be sold". I don't want to see 'Sally B' disappear back to the US, as then we'd only be left with 'Pink Lady' in Europe, but surely continual use of this threat will have an opposite effect?
