This country has created some fantastic planes in the past century, harrier, lightning, vulcan.. the list goes on and on. Where has the industry gone? why are we buying into this Eurotrash fighter?
God I remember seeing a vulcan bomber at a airshow in the early 90's taking off was one of the most incredible sights. went straight vertical and the noise was amazing..Just hope they can resurrect the only airworthy one left..
You can thank our beloved Civil Aviation Authority for the death of aviation in the UK... it won't be long before they dream up some ridiculous excuse to stop the Vulcan from flying... the "Lightning's avionics are too advanced" excuse holds absolutely no weight as a modern Garmin GPS is more advanced. The Victor and Valiant are also banned, as is the Buccaneer.... The de Havilland DH-110 Sea Vixen is thanfully allowed to fly despite it being supersonic!
@wank0r We must do what our Euro German masters tell us since we are no longer a military power of any significance.

@MrMoorkey It's a 1G maneuver. It's pretty safe.

So the Vulcan Bomber became obsolete - yet the Americans still fly the cumbersome B52...
