As a vulcan supporter I'm personally only interested in jets. The Lanc is impressive but doesn't do much for me. I'll be keeping my efforts focused on the surviving ground running vulcans, victors, lightnings etc.

What is the potential fatigue life for PA474 and Just Jane? Presumably older simpler technology and plenty of spare Merlins in the world means many more decades of flying - assuming there is funding?
