a bit of an outside question here.

But was there any reason why the vulcan is held in such regard to be restored yet the other great v bird the victor is not ??

Yes I know we made 3 v birds because British was best then (although the valiants didn't last). But apart from black buck, why the vulcan over the victor ?

Is there an engineering issue that makes it easier ? or would prevent a victor leaving terra firma

Also does that victor at elvington still make runs ? (there might be even more for all I know)
