Diary Page:
17th May 2008 - I have officially decided to cancel Corsair. However, I still have Vapours aplenty (details below).
5th March 2008 - Well, Corsair isn't doing too well. We
are going to keep trying our best to get Corsair built. My dad knows people from the US
battery company Interstate Batteries. He knows airline mechanics too.
