the Mosquito accomplished more in one day than all the Vulcans achieved in their whole service.
Glojo,
I don't want to fall out with you over this, but which day in particular are you thinking of? I know you (probably) weren't being that literal, but that's quite a claim you're making.
The Vulcan was an aircraft that looked different but does that justify the expense of keeping it airborne?
It may or may not justify the expense, but it makes it easier to raise the funds because the general public are more likely to shell out for an aircraft which looked (and sounded) different to everything else that they have seen at an airshow or on television.
