er... I hope you're not suggesting that the Mosquito and co. are somehow more worthy than a Vulcan are you?!
I'm suggesting that we have several well preserved and safely housed examples of the Vulcan. All that money could have been well spent on Mosquitos, and many other flying machines that form part of our aviation heritage. Rather than a futile attempt to keep a large, complex, multi-engine bomber that costs an absolute fortune to maintain, flying for a few short years longer.
