From my understanding , the only reason that this Vulcan was given the criteria to get it airworthy, is because since it was grounded , it has still been serviced as per its original service schedule BAE/AVRO
All other aircraft that were retired , sat around for a long period of
time and had a lapse in the maint. And on that basis they will not be given a permit to fly , because this Vulcan has always had some sort of approved maint , the CAA cannot automaticly refuse. But of course they will add in alot of extra criteria to cover themselves before they will allow it to get in the air again. From what I have read about it and spoken to people involved , this aircraft should be flying again , as long as they get the money together to get it airworthy
Can anybody find out if this maint on the Vulcan since being grounded, is the reason why CAA will entertain the idea of it flying again?
