As many people may know, this year is the last time we'll see the XH558 Vulcan in the air, due to safety certificates for its chassis I believe.  The organisation who look after it are attempting to do a large flying tour of most of the UK over two days, as a final farewell flight for the aircraft.  To that end, they're looking for funding and support to raise the £75,000 required to get it around the UK.

We were hoping to see the Vulcan at the Teesside Airshow back in August but the event was cancelled unfortunately.  If it does get off the ground again we'll definitely make sure to catch it somewhere.
