HERE we go again. The operators of the Vulcan bomber saying they need money to keep it flying. This year they want £350,000. Every year they come up with some ridiculous figure.

I know some people will say it gives them great pleasure to see the thing flying but they ought to remember that it was designed and built to obliterate Russian cities.

In my opinion the thing should now be grounded at its new home and become a static display, that way anyone who wants to visit it can do so without inflicting its noise and pollution on everyone else.
