Why don't you miserable bunch of naysayers go and find another project at which to aim your spiteful venom?

The diversion into Coningsby was as the result of fluctuating main line hydraulic pressure. The aircraft landed without drama and was then towed to a suitable location. Entirely SOP; the Vulcan hydraulic system is actually very basic. You do NOT taxy with an hydraulic failure.

The maintenance team then proved that they were true Brits. Fault diagnosed, corrected and all job cards signed off to enable the old girl to fly this weekend - alas thwarted by weather. Not an easy task, given the need to send Vulcan jacks down to Coningsby from Arthur Scargill RobinDoncasterFinngleyHoodie Intergalactic chavport....

The Vulcan team never fail to amaze with their dedication. They set an example which you moaning Minnies should admire, not despise.

Now, would you all please go and find something dangerous to play with?
