XH558 Memorial not Mothball!
Another solution if it cannot be kept flying by TVOC due to lack of funding/sponsorship, would be for the aircraft to be presented/returned to the RAF and operated as part of a 'RAF Memorial Flight' to include the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. At least that way the millions of pounds donated by thousands of people as well as the Lottery Fund, will not have been seen as having gone to waste. This would also present a great opportunity for the Government and RAF to publicly remember and recognise the sacrifices made by generations since WW2. If this project to keep the Vulcan flying is allowed to founder, the harm done to the prospects for future funding of vintage aircraft and other similar historical projects in general in the UK will be incalculable.
