My problem is that I have walked round the Vulcan at Duxford and the one at Southend.
I want to see the Vulcan fly (and have donated to the Club). Yet each time this year I went to a display where it was billed, it failed due to technical problems.
I've said this before - I know how difficult the project has been and do appreciate the hard work and dedication of the staff, but this was possibly a project where management have let down the staff.
It was always going to be a challenge, but sponsors want a quick win, and that didn't happen. Now the 'crunch' has hit, and we'll have to see if anyone is going to step in at the last minute.
The Vulcan was a great sight, and I'm pleased she did fly, even if only briefly. My own preference would have been for Concorde to have been given the option and, I think, she might have had an easier time with sponsors,.
Here's hoping that 2009 season might see the Vulcan at more events, but.......
