DiamondDog, I'm not passing any comment
against Martin's flying skills or anyone else's for that matter, simply observing that he "appears" ( according to the website) to be the only one in current flying practice on a large aircraft and in possession of an ATPL.
And the tense should be "was"
but if Martin Withers is anything to go by then he is a highly experienced Vulcan Pilot
Nevertheless, well done to everyone who got the beastie airborne again.
