Well once in a fit of nostalgia I contributed a LOT of money to a well known museum towards the HP Victor (which is of course much more beautiful than the Vulcan).
Got a letter back saying "Thanks - the money will go towards airconditioning (drying) equipment while the ship stands outside in Herefordshire".
Heard no more of it (and certainly never got a free ticket to the museum) but the point is - shouldn“t we be preserving all the V force types?
The kids of the future deserve to have this history available.
