Sad News Of The Vulcan Bomber

[jims-terrano]

Hi All, have a look at this web link for what I and others think is very sad news indeed. The only flying Vulcan Bomber may already have flown her last flight and even worse may also be sold off possibly leaving the country.

Been there done that and bought the Teeshirt. Glad I made the effort to go and see it last year, I just think it's bloody shame that government can't give them a million or even half that. Even the RAF adopt it in some way. It would be a shame for it to become another static display decaying or even worse leave the country.

Ive donated twice in the past, once at an Imperial war museum airshow and once at an Elvington airshow.
Of course it needs the big wonga from somewhere. Lottery perhaps ?
The trouble is these old war planes cost lots of money just to keep them parked up on the ground never mind air worthy.
Could it be a victim of this horrible credit crunch were experiencing ?
I agree it is very sad too but it needs a rich enthusiast to keep this baby alive and running and thez plenty and more of them in America.
Ive signed the petition.
