What's also being overlooked here is passion.
The Vulcan is'nt a representitive of British power it's a representitive of British engineering. It was put back in the air by enthusiasts. It's geeks with spanners and a passion. They looked at the vulcan and said let's get it flying again. If they end up spending 10 million on it then good on them. They got off their arses and actually did it.
Where passion and emotion are envolved who gives a **** about money.
It's a piece of aviation history. People who would never have seen a Vulcan fly have now, and as a fan of all things winged I say that it's a good thing.
I am greatful to the people who keep all obsolete types flying, just so that I can see them where they are meant to be seen. In the air.
