Hear the commentary as XH558 waits to take-off, and is overflown by the B-52 then watch her take-off! To help this legendary aircraft continue to fly or to find out where you can next see her display, please visit www.vulcantothesky.org!
These two aircraft represent the difference between the American and British military force. The Americans opt' for size and range, whereas the British opt' for maneuverability and outright power!
It doesn't cost you any money does it? It doesn't cost the tax payer any money does it? What's your problem? This is no different from keep the Lancaster flying, or a Spitfire or a classic Ferrari or a Deltic. I very much doubt you've gone on any videos of those and berated them for running costs.
The RAF retired the Vulcan due to it came to the end of it's operational life. No need to fly a bomb over enemy territory when you had ICBMs and nuclear submarines.
@tradbgon Pal, you need to wind your neck in. People like you with your bitching and complaining are the downfall of this country. Why don't you go and join some kind of human rights group where you can defend murders on the grounds of them having a bad time in jail. Id rather see 2 million of our lottery money go to this than some crappy art show or some asylum seeking refugee camp!!!
