What a ludicrous comment. You are seriously suggesting that all anyone who went to Waddington today has to do to get a refund is to cite the fact that the Vulcan didn’t display? And they should be refunded any travelling or accommodation expenses? How absurd. Would you then suggest that anyone who went to see a play or theatre show is entitled to a refund because the understudy performed?
Somewhere on that Waddington ticket will be a statement to the effect that the display line up is subject to change.

Your another that posts selective quotes and not the whole thing……
If you read my original post which you have systmatically adjusted to your own ends
“then they should have informed the General public well before the night prior to the show, so they could save the expense of travelling and seen about getting a refund”
I am saying if as was the case the renewal was listed to be completed by the 14th of this month and so the chances of the thing flying were nigh on impossible as is the case, they should have informed the public a week ago to say it would probably not display.
Those that had booked overnight accomodaton or train and rail tickets, would then of been in a position if they duly wished had time too cancel their accomodation bookings or travel tickets and possibly recieve a refund, all be it losing their deposits, BUT to have travelled up as in one case from South Wales to be told on the gate the one reason they had come was going to be little more than window dressing could have been avoided and the expense of fuel, hotel bills or train or coach travel would have been avoided for them, as would of some of the bad feeling, telling someone on the gate or on the show radio after they have spent money to get there is not only p*ss poor management on the TVOC’s Behalf but negative publicity and a loss of good faith from those that have paid to keep it in the air…….
They knew in advance the chances of it getting a permit were next to NIL but still flew it to Waddington to try and maximise their revenue earning possibilities whilst it is in the static at the detriment to those that support it, finance it, and spent hard cash to get there to see it fly, something they knew would not happen.. That is what is wrong and that is why the Chief Engineer, Phleming and the Management should stand down.
