Simple,
Many thanks for the input.
I can't think of a historic aircraft operating in the UK that is so complex as the Vulcan. (Well apart from some of the B757 we fly.....)
The problems that the maintainers and certifiers of the Vulcan have are many and complex and not perhaps understandable to some. It has been a fantastic effort to get XH558 in the air once more, but I have always said that doing this was one thing, keeping it serviceable was another.
Unless this can be done and the aircraft makes a large percentage of it's scheduled appearances, bookings for this great aircraft may dwindle and the revenue stream will thus be affected. We must all appreciate that this is the first season after major work on the aircraft and we must not expect it to operate with a high degree of reliabilty. So we should cut the folks who have and continue to do their best some slack and expect a period of defects arising that need to be sorted and hope for a better degree of reliability next year.
