I saw Vulcan at RIAT the year before last, such an awesome sight. Not to forget the noise either!

I think Les may have taken the final flight although I sincerely hope not.

Its a pity that they won't let one go to the USA or South Africa. As I bet they would get it back in the air....
There is private operators running and maintaining Harriers and even a EE Lightning, neither of which are simple or have availability of spare parts.
