In 2007 Vulcan XH558 took to the skies for the first time in 15 years, following a complex restoration costing £7 million. Last year she was the star of airshows throughout the UK, delighting more than 1.5 million spectators.

However, the ‘Vulcan to the Sky’ project requires an additional £1 million to in order to plan a full display programme this year, threatening to scupper the long-term ambition to keep this relic of the Cold War in the skies, in much the same way as the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight’s Avro Lancaster bomber from the Second World War pays tribute to the men and women of RAF Bomber Command.
