Post subject:	Vulcan Arrives at Wellesbourne Airfield
An interesting piece of history: http://www.stratford-herald.com/64797-vulcan-video.html It's a shame the Wings & Wheels event had been cancelled this year.

The same day that Vulcan 558 announces severe funding difficulties.

Is that another local Vulcan?

558 was the last flying Vulcan. I think it's now based at Doncaster Airport. They've run out of money (again) and are sending the begging bowl round. Sadly, a few of people behind it are making far more than they ought be.

I thought Wellesbourne Airport was sold for the building of a housing estate. How long is the Vulcan staying there?

There are mumblings about Stratford District Council issuing a compulsory purchase order for the site (another massive council tax hike to pay for it?), and talk of legal action, so things are a bit up in the air at the minute.

I doubt the Vulcan will ever move from Wellesbourne Cathidaw. Whilst it might be OK for ground runs, I can't see it getting a flight permit to move anywhere else. That leaves the back of a lorry, but in order to do that so many of the aircraft systems (and airframe) would need to be broken down that it'd never be a runner again. I don't think the future looks very good for this one.
