Vulcan to be sold on E-Bay

As reported in last Sunday's Mail.

XH558, almost certainly the only Vulcan B2 (K2) left with a chance of taking to the skies again, is to be sold on E-bay following the decision of the Heritage Fund not to sponsor any of the re-build.

The fund has been criticised for giving 20M to minorities and yet cannot stump up any cash to preserve one of the UK's most significant military aircraft which helped to keep the peace for 30 years.

What is this country coming to. Anyone have any friends with deep pockets, or influence within a marketing dept with a big budget.

I, for one, am very glad I have never bought a lottery ticket!
