By all means find somebody to preserve one airframe, preferably flying and a stock of spares, but you don’t want to get to the stage we have in the UK where every available inch of overgrown scrub on every regional tinpot airfield in the country has an Avro Vulcan falling slowly (or not so slowly) to pieces as a result of corrosion or vandalism or both. Meanwhile you have to travel all day to find a Victor and all month to track down a Valiant.

you mean like the one i saw at BLK for the first time the other day! Fly your Colt up to Elvington SUnday/Monday and you’ll see ya Victor… on a high speed taxi!
