Yep - I agree, the CAA have been behind this project 100%. At the offeset the CAA was approached and requested Q&A's over the return to flight. This was supplied which gave the CAA further confidence in the project team (remembering others in the 1980's who wanted to fly the Vulcan and failed).
The air crew headed by DT wrote the Flight Ops Manual which satified the CAA.
Then of course this year, the CAA gave the flight permit and the DA to the crew in record time.
This goes to show that one area of the VOC did very well and met the expectations of the CAA.
