XH558 - Taking the P**S :)
I note that today XH558 performed at Finningley for the benefit of invited guests, including the winners of a raffle.
All very nice, but because of CAA rules, H&S rules and all the rest, the performance was not announced until it had just ended.
Brilliant. The Vulcan people beg us for every last penny to keep XH558 flying. They spectacularly manoeuvred themselves out of the long-running saga concerning Dr.Pleming's "expenses" but still they don't seem to have learned. A private display paid-for by public money?
Much as I love the magnificent Vulcan, I really do think that (not for the first time) the way that these people manage the project is appalling.
