hours were building up on the airframe, RAF didnt want to pay, so ended the display programe at the end of 1992

there was talk of it being scrapped, but the lottery fund and lots of other people liek myself put £££ into it so it can be rebuit and flown

where are the vids? i dont see no thumbnails. was following the vulcan project closely, didnt realise it was so advanced now, lottery grant and also FS2004 involvement has helped immensely.
I remember seeing the Vulcan at a display at BAe in Hatfield many years ago, i could not believe my eyes watching an aircraft so large go into a vertical ascent straight after V2. amazing
