Yes the Connie flies...but...and a BIG BUT...the Olympus 20201 fitted to the Vulcan has a fuel burn of 13,950 lbs/hr at maximum power (100-100.5%) at sea level on an ISA standard 15c, 1013.2mb day.

This equates to a rate of 55,800 lbs/hr for a Vulcan with Take Off power selected at the end of the runway. Quite a lot eh, which roughly works out at 60p per litre of Avtur equatating to £5.24 per second!!!
