Blackpool Vulcan ( deceased )
Just watched the local news showing the end for said Vulcan. Report(plus a couple of interviews ) said it was sold for £5k to a scrap merchant whose opinion was that it was simply another piece of scrap metal and that he didn't give a damn about it's history----plus the owner who had decided the area it occupied would now make an excellent car park and the fact that he felt it had to go at some time anyway. He merrily pointed out that it had been there for longer than the RAF had operated it btw. As for the publican who was going to put it on display--her, er, settled for "something a little smaller"--a Sea Harrier to be precise --to "amuse the kids in the pub garden" as he so delightfully put it. So that's that then.
