£25,000 for dead Vulcan????

Morning all,

Just got my annual report and copy of accounts for Lincs Lancaster Association this morning. In it, I read, with utter atonishment, that the Association paid £25,000 (yes, twenty five thousand pounds!) to purchase the Vulcan at Newark Air Museum. What an astonishing price to pay for the old girl.

Do you think that it might have had anything to do with the fact that the aircraft owner was em, lets see, ..........its only the bl00dy chaiman of Lincs Lancaster Association??!! Hey, what about that then? Maybe the 'council' of the association would care to comment on why so much was paid for the aircraft?

With almost a quater of a million pounds in their coffers, and tricks like this, I think its time I dis-associated myself from the Association, this just dosn't seem right to me.

Kind regards
TSM
