[quote=oldlag53;3079385]Good point re the insurance: just what would be the Public Liability quote???

I still maintain that this is Fantasy Island - I knew an ex-Vulcan pilot some years ago, and you had to have top-of-the-line military flying skills to handle the beast. And with the best will in the world, you've got civilians 'responsible' for what was a Serious Military Machine. And no Vulcan has flown anywhere for, what, nearly 25 years???

...and how many 4-engined tailwheel pilots are being trained for the Lancaster/B17

There will be enough pilots able and willing to teach their successors, just as there are for the Hunters.
