I stated, long before 558 was restored to flying condition, that it couldn't last. It won't. That is just the way it is. At the very least, you cannot continue past the point where you run out of Vulcan experienced pilots (and engineers, too perhaps?). But the money will eventually not be there. An aircraft like this takes loads of cash to run, but you all know that. And the language of the regular begging comms have all the hallmarks of a con - threats about what will happen to the aircraft, "It will end up overseas!" - unless you cough up ..... again! It can't last folks, and it won't. Prepare yourselves for the bereavement. I like a noisy, spectacular aircraft at an air display just as much as the next man, but this one can't continue. Sad, but true. In the meantime your cash is being siphoned away .......
