I mentioned it on this thread because it is the Vulcan thread. I also said “As the operators keep saying money is tight. Just think what the media would say if it crashed on an urban area. Poorly maintained,I know its not but when would that get in the way of a headline”
Note I am not saying its a accident waiting to happen. All I am saying is this aircraft needs to be seen squeeky clean to prevent any further headlines about it. At the moment the public’s perception of airshows is coloured by the loss of Red4 (and the loss ofBBD)any any further incidents involving aircraft flying for “entertainment” are likely to get a great deal more attention than perhaps is warrented.
We on this forum(and others like it) know the shear bloody hard work, sacrifice(both in time and money) that goes into saving,restoring,jumping through hoops to fly aircraft such as this. I don’t think the ordinary public see it in this way.
This aircraft is the face of the (flying)preservation movement in the UK so anything out of the ordinary that happens to it will be reported. That is why I speak as I do.
