Jesus Christ, you bunch of sad, grumpy old tw*ts!
Phew, that must have taken some doing coming up with that response!

Where you say sad, grumpy old tw*ats, insert the word realists. The Vulcan is a cash cow and is becoming a liability. I sweat blood working on them for 10 years and know exactly the kind of maintenace issues it suffers from. For whatever reason (and please don't bleat on about late funding, that shouldn't have been an issue if the project was being run correctly), 558 should have been ready for the start of the airshow programme.

Just think how many other classic aircraft could have been saved using money donated to 558.
