My observation that the TVOC was being run by the military, or ex-military,not businessmen, was shot down in flames. My suggestion that the public pay to see the beast was greeted with indifference, save Tim.
Therein lies the problem: it is all very well suggesting how to proceed, as TVOC have run out of ideas, but someone always says" it will never work". Well, frankly, you don't know until you try.
Firstly, establish who wants to see the Vulcan: if it's just a group of die hard enthusiasts then the answer is to hangar it, or museum it. If you can provide market research showing that 2 million people want to see it display, you have a market to tap to pay for it.
One other solution is to ration the the UK / European displays and to fit it with long range nav kit and take it to the US;they tend to be more favourable to old airplanes than we do in Europe.
Finally, as a stop gap, sell the space on the airframe:the DP paint job can be made up from millions upon millions of small images. Offer it up as "Have your picture on the Vulcan" and repaint, or decl the airframe, so that the DP paint job isn't compromised but "Little Jimmy or Knackered Old Sh1t V Force Nav" can have his picture on the jet.
