Would the Vulcan still work today?
Would the Vulcan still provide an effective tool today?
I look at the USA still operating the B52 and think back to when I was a kid looking up at the flash white triangles flying up the north east coast and wonder if it would still be effective if it had been upgraded in the same way, or had it's time come and was it the right thing to do?
As a kid, I have very fond memories of a multiple Vulcan scramble at RAF Finningley airshow in the late 70's.
I'm not a pilot, or a techie, just looking at the comparisons between two old birds designed at the same time. One still working over Afghanistan, the other castrated in museums.
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but it's been nagging away.
