............and, indeed that website is but a Google away. 'New Year update' promised.

Andy - the venture has to learn to take the 'rough with the smooth' here on PPrune (and I'm sure they have no issues with that). They have had a lot of beneficial exposure here and there are bound to be folk raising queries.

We wish them well.

Hopefully the 'New Year Update' will clarify some of the figures mentioned.

£60,000 per month just to remain viable. £100,000 to complete test flights by March.
£1.6 million to participate in a season of up to 17 Air Shows.

We wish them well indeed!

Yes ANDYBSEI. Optimism is all very well, but you can have all the optimism in the world, and it still wont fly. Only money will cause it to happen.

Vulcan appearance at the Cosford air show

I am looking at attending the Cosford air show this year and noticed that the Military Airshows website says that the Vulcan may make an appearance (TBC).

Does anyone know whether a decision has been made yet on it appearing?

I know it will come down to the aircraft being serviceable on the day but it would be awesome to see

Cheers

Vulcan Displays

Would be delighted to see a Vulcan display from the outside having done a few from the inside, especially if it was being flown by Tony Blackman to the limits of its flight envelope.

Still waiting for some comments from the crew of that aircraft carrier which was not authorised to be in the Lyme Bay exclusion area where I had just unloaded ,through a cloud layer, a full load of inert 500 pounders. Did a landing approach and came close to a touch down on the deck in my attempt to scare it away.

The BBC was as incisive as ever........

"Its like a Giant peice of Dairy Lea"

and

"..its the RAFs last remaining Vulcan"

surley "..was the RAFs last remaining Vulcan"

Bye Bye Sooty Bye Bye.... !
