Thumbs down

The Vulcan was a joy to fly but it's over now.It is a very complex and ageing aircraft. I agree that it should be kept in flyable condition, but not flown. Let's remember that in its day it bit quite a few people and they were all current on it. I do not know what the quals of the current BoB Flt Lanc pilot are but I am afraid that I don't see Lanc currency as relevant and anyway who will the co-pilot be and just as importantly who will act as AEO? You can't operate 10P from the front (ex Vulcan mates will understand that one).

It was great jet and I admit that I have stood under the one at Duxford and whispered "One more time, just once more, please" But, it's over, let's let it be.
