well hopefully the PC madness that has been reigning over here in the last 10 years will take care of this, and anyway a military nuclear bomber from the Cold War has nothing to do with the spirit of Olympic Games, it's like going to a Bar Mitzvah in a Kubelwagen: uncalled for.

If the organizers choose that aircraft i'll support it all the way, and i couldn't care what the rest of the world thinks, especially as the UK in the last 30 years has castrated itself and its citizens rights time and time again to benefit other nations.
Fly the Vulcan!

yeah, how about you stop living in the nostalgia for the past "when everything was better" and make something of the present, which is a bloody mess?

Clearly Stern your issue is with the Restoration team cos every post seems to be a crack at them and how you wouldn't do it like they do, so this is clearly some inter-restoration team rivalry crap.

no no no, not with the restoration team, which is a fantastic bunch of skilled folks, I'm against the whole idea and the frontman (and the few hidden characters behind him).
I fly with and restore completely different things, never been a huge fan of jets, but I respect people that do their restoration and labour of love on them on their own means, using volunteers and trying to make it an educational experience for who wants to, not milking others.

Now if you don't mind I've got some crying and being offended to do as I've just seen a Tu95 in UK airspace on a documentary that was aired today, shocking that a documentary would should that in this day and age, its just so savoir vivre.
