Personally I think that £40 plus the usual expenses (petrol, food, drink etc) is very reasonable when you compare it to what else you can do for the same money:

Football match – Very overpriced and only lasts 2 hours for the same money.
Theatre show – Again for an evening out you can pay alot more than £50 for something that lasts a couple hours.
Day trip to London – Train ticket, lunch, dinner, museum entrances getting on for alot more than £100

The list really is endless. I think that although it does seem like alot it is money well spent when you look at how much flying takes place each day, the evening concert and whatever else is on offer.

If you want to save money then why not try bringing your own food & drink??

I’ll be at RIAT this year, when you see what is coming then I for one think it is good value.

As someone said earlier once the aircraft is flying the commercial sponsors will and should start to put money at the project.

One could argue about the red bull on the Sea Vixen, who cares? The paid to keep the aircraft flying, for people like me this was the only time I have ever seen a Sea Vixen fly and I am greatfull that I have seen her fly.

What you need to remember is the Vulcan is a show stopper, an entertainer and a crowd pleaser. The stories you keep hearing about airshow numbers falling and the smaller airshows dissappearing of the airshow calender, surely the Vulcan will bring the crowds back and can only help the airshow scene.

I am 100% behind the Vulcan team and am very much looking forward to see her on the airshow circuit. It maybe a seemingly never ending story but with the end result within touching distance, why can’t we all look at the bigger picture?
