Bad weather forces Vulcan bomber to pull out of six weekend air shows
THE Vulcan bomber was forced to pull out of six air shows in one weekend due to bad weather.
The problem-plagued bomber, which was formerly based at RAF Waddington, was unable to carry out displays at the events earlier this month due to poor visibility.

Robert Pleming, of the Vulcan To The Sky Trust, said: "Gutted is an appropriate word to describe the feeling of missing the opportunity to fly for almost 250,000 expectant people.
"Not only were we forced to let our fans down, but our cash flow suffered almost £50,000 lost profit."

“@Victor
The end of your original comment stated "it's time to pull the plug and put it into a museum" - as you're not contributing to the project you don't have a say in the matter.
How I choose to spend my money is my business, I've earned it. You're not bothered if this plane stays in the air so you don't pay, but you think your opinion about grounding it still has some weight.
If I told you your car was crap and you should scrap it - would you pay any attention? I should think not - so I wouldn't waste my breath offering the opinion in the first place.”

“Shep, if you have the money to give to a group who consistently fail to deliver on their promises, and who constantly let down the people who are shelling out huge sums of money on this project, then you carry on. If it was me, by now I'd be thinking these people are having a laugh at my expense and be putting my money into something that's a bit more reliable. As I said, how many airshows has this thing been booked to appear at and how many has it actually made ?”
