Petition to keep XH558 Vulcan flying.

Postby bingoking » Mon 20.07.2015, 06:52

At the end of the 2015 display season, Avro Vulcan Bomber B2 XH558 will be grounded permanently after just 8 years in flight since a £6.5 million pound restoration which saw the aircraft return to flight after 14 years of retirement. A recent Q&A release on the Vulcan to the skies trust website has shown that despite the main belief that XH558 is to be grounded due to running out of airframe and engine life, the main reason is due to the three companies which form the "Technical Authorities" required by the CAA's permit to fly ending their support for the project based on financial reasons. The same Q&A release states that the trust and several other companies believe they could keep the aircraft in flight but are unable to even try because the current "Technical Authorities" have made it clear that they will not release vital information and documentation to any other companies and that any such working agreement will never happen.
Sign the petition and let's try and keep this beautiful iconic aircraft in the air.
