Oldlag53, I am becoming increasingly curious as to what your problem actually is.

You argue that Area 51 know more about the CAA position with regard to complex aircraft than the Vulcan to the sky people because Area 51 have experience. Not with Vulcans they don't. The only ones with experience dealing with CAA regarding Vulcans are the same people whose views you dismiss.

You describe as utter rubbish the statement that 'given that all the required criteria are met a permit to fly will be issued when required.' and argue that the REAL situation is that 'There will be strict written criteria set down, which the project will have to pass to the letter, and then, only then, will any approval be forthcoming.' What exactly is the difference?

Incidentally the reason the Lighting and Buccanneer only fly in South Africa does not alter that fact that organisational support (of the type achieved for the Vulcan) would be required for them to fly in the UK.
