2015 will sadly be the last flying season for XH558 the last remaining flying Vulcan.

It will be sad not to see / hear her at airshows anymore :-(
The, “unknown, unknowns”, sounds like another Concorde moment.
It will be missed, it was always a superb addition to any flying display when it was originally in service, even more so when it was the only one. Put it in a great big crate, ship it to the States, they will have it flying for decades to come.
Reading between all the lines, we have run out of money, and vital, charitable support.
