Problem with the Vulcan is it will now be all about managing the hours / cycles etc on the engines after the decision to set of with the gravy train to the next station... I would think the Engine lives are the critical factor after the incident at Doncas....Finningley..
And as said, bar the Concorde testbed ( I think it had one, but stand to be corrected), none have had burners.
