A major announcement concerning the operational future of the Vulcan is contained within the latest news letter which can be read via the link below.

Someone should put the old girl out of her misery and spend the money on something else.

Or get the fund raising team to take over from Gideon.

I have to agree it's about time she was grounded. The money wasted on keeping it flying could have made a hanger like the one in Manchester viewing park. That way she would be preserved for the rest of her life. People could go and visit.

As much as I like to see our heritage secured, I just don't think the vast amounts needed to keep XH558 flying (now and again, including last minute, cancelled displays) makes any sense whatsoever.

The money could be distributed around other projects and XH558 stuck in a museum.

Same with the Royals.

As for squirrels, they're classed as vermin and the red kites enjoy them.
