Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Quote:
Britain's only flying Cold War Vulcan bomber will take its final flight next year before being grounded because of soaring restoration costs.
After a multimillion-pound fundraising scheme, Avro Vulcan XH558 was restored in 2007 and given a certificate of airworthiness before appearing at more than 60 air shows.
But The Vulcan to the Sky Trust has announced that 2013 will be the final flying season for the aircraft based at Doncaster's Robin Hood Airport.
