Vulcan To Fly Again
Todays Telegraph (Page 2) states:-
"The Heritage Lottery Fund is to provide £2.5 million towards the cost of restoring and returning to flight the giant Avro Vulcan,Britain's most popular military aircraft after the Spitfire.
It should enable the public to see the remarkable delta-wing plane in flight for the next 10 to 15 years.
The award goes against the fund's rules that support should not be given to projects that restore historic aircraft to flight, but was made because of the unique nature of the project.
The Vulcan is the last example of Britain's V-bomber force - Victor, Valiant and Vulcan - designed in the 1950s to carry nuclear bombs as a deterrent to Soviet attack "
Perhaps somebody has recognised , at last, that airshows are the second biggest spectator sport after football.
