Why so definite the Vulcan won't be allowed to fly at Waddington??
You're partly right, BB - I should have remembered one enduring facet of the Vulcan project. It's like the British wx - if you don't like it, stick around, and it'll be different.
When I posted on 27 June, I chose the word 'permitted' carefully. I was distinguishing between the Permit to Fly, which, with good will, looks like happening in good time, and the Display Authorisation, which last week looked practically impossible in time for the show.
Now, without in any way committing myself, or anyone else come to that, I now believe it might be slightly less than impossible. I'm not sure I'd dare go firm on a definite maybe, but.....
I think I should give up forecasting. And stick around in case things get to be different
