The future

The Vulcan is wonderful but I sometimes wish that all this effort and ingenuity and so on was being put into some new aircraft.

It would probably be something that many people would pour scorn on if it was really pushing any boundaries whereas raising money to look after an old success story seems on the surface to be easier.

I imagine the real reason for not doing that is that even though the money it costs to maintain seems a lot it's chickenfeed compared to development. But then perhaps even an innovative new hang glider would at least be forward looking and hopeful.
