oh believe me, I did hear that a lot of times. I was based in Brunters for long time, working with some friends on other restorations, so I know ALL the story, even the more obscure aspects of it probably, the murky ones that don't make it to the public.
I regularly fly with WW2 planes, and I can tell you that there's a HUGE difference between flying a B-17 and a Vulcan. Putting aside the "moral aspects" (although I'd still like any of you to explain me what's the point of that thing opening the London Olympics), the prohibitive costs should be enough to make you want to have a more responsible managing or a different project altogether.
