The second 'first flight' of the Vulcan couldn't have come at a worse time. As good as it is to see it fly again, I wonder how many would-be large corporate sponsors are afraid to lay their cash on the table for fear of intimidation from the huggy fluffy, Guardian reading, carbon offset monkeys??

Lets face it, despite being an icon of bombing things and making a lot of noise, the Vulcan is definitely not an example of a carbon neutral masterpiece by any means..
