Vulcan vs Lightning
Here's a questions for the PPRUNE brain trust ...
while watching pictures of the successful Vulcan flight during the week (BTW, well done to everyone involved), I was reminded of watching a TV programme with Martin Shaw in a Lightning rushing up and down the runway at Cranfield. It was mentioned in that programme that due to legal issues no Lightning is allowed to fly in the UK.
So, how come the Vulcan is allowed to fly but the Lightning isn't?
