ONE of the favourites of Bournemouth Air Festival is facing another battle to keep flying.

Vulcan to the Sky Trust needs to raise £300,000 by the end of March to keep the Cold War bomber in the air.

It currently has around £70,000 and is appealing for donations.

Vulcan XH558 receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations to continue displaying to the crowds at air shows throughout the summer.
