I've already taken a shot of 607 from the A15! There wouldn't be any point in making a special visit, as aerospace journalists/photographers are pretty lowly creatures as far as the RAF is concerned. The RAF do their best to accommodate our requests, but we certainly wouldn't command the attention of a Stn Commander!
The best I could do, would be to write directly to the Stn Cdr and ask what his views are on the subject, but it's pretty easy to guess what the response would be - he'd simply say that his personnel do their utmost to maintain the aircraft as best they can, given that they have no funds with which to support it.
The only way I can imagine anything good happening, would be if there's some ex-Vulcan people around who can collar the Stn Cdr socially and persuade him to allow some outsiders to get involved, and try to raise funds that way. Otherwise, I really can't see anything to be optimistic about, sadly.
