Sadly, what started out as a bunch of highly motivated enthusiasts trying to get the Vulcan into the air again has manifested itself into a business with large sums of money involved.
Surely anyone with any time in the industry on the engineering and ops side realised that this project needed to be run as a 'business' and there would need to be massive sums of money involved, simply because of the type and complexity of the aircraft. That money would need to come from somewhere, and regularly. Unfortunately many of the highly motivated enthusiasts weren't/aren't aware of this fact of life, or have chosen to bury their heads in the sand.
