We seem to have gone off track from my initial comments. The Vulcan has to be stripped down and moved out by road, of that there is no doubt. Scampton is not that far from Doncaster, well at least not hundreds of miles away and from a logistics and cost point of view the nearer to her former home the better. From the engineering point of view those people involved with the Vulcan who I assume are mostly from the South Yorkshire area wont have to relocate to some other remote airfield, traveling times and costs for them must be a big consideration. Scampton is an ex Vulcan base and I am sure WLDC would welcome this massive visitor attraction, if I were them I would be knocking on the door for the Vulcan and if I were involved with the Vulcan team I would be knocking on Scampton’s door if they haven’t already done so. Surely for both parties it has to be a win win situation. As far as the Home Office is concerned they always want to throw a spanner in the works but they don’t always get their own way. And the NIMBY’S they will always be with us.
