You can't save them all .The ones that are left are all (Or) mostly in the care of people that can and do look after them 2 ground runners & 1 that flies is good after 20 odd years out of service .Not being involved in any I take my hat off to the guy's that give of their free time & working lives to the maintanance of them.

This one was dead long before the other's, i think,there were still whole airframes down the road at Waddington waiting to be cut up

My reaction wasn't because it was a Vulcan ... can't put my finger on it other than the "mood" of the photo

It's just so sad regardless of what a/c it is, it's a shame to see once majestic machines in such a state.

Pictures of aircraft being destroyed are always sad, but let's keep it in perspective. Over 10% of all the Vulcans built have survived as museum pieces, and we have three live examples (one flying and two taxying). Very few other historic aircraft have survived in similar numbers.
