Seasonal greetings; I do not know what sort of flight regulations the New Zealand CAA or its equiv have, but the UK CAA are rigid on such things and without pilots that have adequate qualifications the Vulcan is never likely to fly again.

It is not relevant even if the finance were to be forthcoming it would be almost impossible that this aircraft would ever fly again. There is just no way that pilots could be sourced or trained and then be in situ to enable recency to be complied with.

What is interesting with this thread is a for warning that maybe we should be looking to preserve and keep flying a Nimrod in the near future. With adequate planning and financial provision this would be a worthy challenge.
