..we have to find the money to keep this old bird flying.
Vulcan to the Sky Sadly we in Britain have a long history of letting aviation history die. Having just spoken to the orgaisers of this project we need to do everything to keep this old lady flying. It would make a great addition to airshows across the US, because it is a classic of British design. Let's not forget it did bomb the Falklands and it was at the time longest bombing raid in history. I know things are hard but some things are worth saving. The fact that the MoD and RAF Historic Flight have failed to fund this project is a national disgrace. This plane was designed for a reason and we need to remember why.

The government don't care about such matters as keeping a Vulcan flying. The fact that the money required is less than 0.00003% of the money thrown at the banks so far is neither here or there; "Prudence" needs to draw the line sonewhere.
£20 million of jizya thrown away on Gaza by Wee Dougie. Ask Harriet Harpie's Court of Public Opinion whether they'd prefer our money spent on the tin triangle or people who want to kill us.
Hey man, we've got our own problems in that department. The F-14 was the only MiG killer we had in the post-Vietnam Cold War era and we've either put them all on sticks in front of museums or chopped 'em to pieces. Not a single one will ever fly at an air show... unless somebody steals one back from the Iranians. Until then, though, that does make things simpler: if you see a Tomcat, shoot!
