I have had the pleasure, (in years gone past), watching this take off many times as an operational machine. WE MUST ENSURE IT CONTINUES TO FLY.

I agree - i have watched the Vulcan flying a couple of times at airshows in the late eighties (I think- maybe early nineties) and it is a truly impressive machine, and worth preserving I think...
