There's some more of the Aerobytes announcement that I think bears repeating on PPRuNe.
Eddie Forrester (MD) goes on to say
For me personally, the most important point is that a group of dedicated individuals managed to perform the 'impossible'.
Inevitably, the doubters have always been lurking in the shadows - all too quick to write this off as another impossible dream and assert that none of us should waste time with intangible and abstract things such as aspirations, visions or fantasies. I strongly believe that this type of negative-thinking is slowly strangling our society and that it accounts for many commercial and personal failures in the UK every day. It helps to explain why we can no longer produce miracles of engineering like Concorde or TSR2.
Consequently, I am proud beyond words that the Vulcan team has weathered the storm and now has something so beautiful and so noisy with which to send doubters scuttling back under their rocks for a long time to come.
I sincerely hope that young people over the coming years will see this aircraft, learn how she was saved and be inspired. I want them to learn that 'impossible' normally means 'lazy', 'excuse' or 'no imagination' and that they are entirely capable of achieving just about anything so long as they apply enough intelligence, imagination and courage.
In short, we are very proud to support the return of XH558 to the sky as magnificent proof that 'impossible' is a much over-used word. This is a lesson that tomorrow's engineers and managers will hopefully remember and apply in later life."
Vim Fuego - sad to say, you're partly right about Waddo. With some very good will from CAA (in allowing a ferry flight), she may be there, but she won't be permitted to fly a display.
