The difference is that money spent on the EU etc. is government money, whereas in the highly unlikely event that one was to retured to flight, it would be private money - donations - like the Vulcan is. And remember, even if one was returned to flight it would not (I think I am safe being definitive there) be passenger-carrying flight. You couldn't use the promise of a seat on it to wring money out of people.
