I think Skeeler, might have a good point. But it's not the RAF you have to convince, it's the MOD.
They MOD will say - what benefit does the UK taxpayer get from it, as the UK taxpayer in a way will pay for it - even if it's just parked up at an RAF base for a few weeks/moths etc.
Face the facts - it can't operate of Bruntingthopre, it needs a 24/7 airfield, with the fire cover, FOD checks, no car storage and added security.
The BBMF and the Red Arrows secure sponsorship in one form or another and this can be duplicated to the Vulcan.
Signing petitons to the PM will not generate even £1 and this charity needs hard currency, sort of now. It's the end of October now and still no winter fundrasing plan in place on the only public access portal - the website.
The Vulcan will depart FAB in a week or so's time - it's fate is really unknown.

Come of VTTS trustee's where are you?
