Well it was that good a weekend that BBC East Midland Today never even mentioned Waddo on todays lunchtime news, despite record crowds.
I get the impression the Vulcan saga has p!!! them off so much now that they wont comment on it either way now.

Real shame as if you look at the Tornado A1 steam loco project that cost more than TVOC to build from new and all the hurdles and paperwork that is needed to run steam on the main line today and yet all achieved, and not one negative story or begging letter saying it was being shipped to the states or else!"!

Real shame that the RAF couldn't have kept her running under BBMF type umbrella with some financial support structure in place.
still I suppose once they got rid of her, that was it

Cant ever see any other "complex" types being entertained for private preservation again and god knows what the CEO of the companies sullied by this sorry affair are thinking now. Not the best PR is it
