If you thought Branson spent a shilling or two on his transatlantic efforts——— it must have been penny washers compared to that mother. Originally Posted by FUJIMO

Well, as I’m sure you all know the AGA KHAN was not exactly short of a bob or three ! Or good looking women——- (you wouldn’t kick RITAHAYWORTH out of bed until after ! Originally Posted by FUJIMO

AGNELLI owns Fiat——— Fiat owns Ferrari——-Italian government owns Fiat—— AND can call on the EU for “SPECIAL PROJECTS”———EU PROBABLY has more floating loose cash than Russia——- China—— or even the USA.
So there was never going to be a shortage of money if the Italians wanted to build a transatlantic crossing boat!
Bit like the AMERICAS CUP————- when the USA wants something——— you can bet your sweet hippy it’ll get government backing.
