Tramline,

I dont think its actually flying.

I think I read somewhere its just a group of people travelling round the airfields to raise money to keep it flying for the coming year.

Regards

Phil

Phil is correct.  At present the project faces running out of funds on March 6th.  Today's event is a fundraising effort where a father and son team are attempting to visit each of the 15 Vulcan airframes.

Oh, sorry I was told it was flying :-(.

Anyway, lets hope they raise a load of funds for this worthy cause. Support 558!
