Surely, if there had been a serious defect in the flying ability of the vulcan, then most of them would have fallen out of the sky, as they didn't, I suggest that Milt has done his previous job correctly,and the Vulcan was a 'safe' aircraft to fly.

As there may soon be a Vulcan flying, there should be no surprises as to what it can and cannot do, so I put it to Milt, that there is nothing to achieve by raking up the past, as the data gained from the early Vulcan aircraft is only applicable to an aircraft that effectively went out of service over 20 years ago (not counting VDF).
