I'm not sure there's much point in XH558 flying at all. She is limited by the rules under which she flys in the power used and the 'G' pulled compared to those limits in RAF service, therefore the displays are a shadow of those back in the day, when the aeroplane was in service.
This is no reflection on those who fly her; they have no choice but to abide by the rules.
The result is, a lot of folk who are not old enough to remember a real Vulcan display have watched a post-RAF 558 one and are under the impression that they have seen a Vulcan display.
They haven't! Not a balls-out real one!
