Vulcan Pledge fund now over £100,000


Last week, the Vulcan Survival Appeal was launched, with the target of £600,000 needed by the end of March, and £300,000 of that needed by the end of February.

Failure to reach this would undoubtedly see the Vulcan grounded forever, and the sound of the Delta Lady lost for good, which would be a sad end to the great story of the aircraft, which is celebrating it's 50th Birthday this year.

The public have been asked to play another key part in keeping the tin triangle up in the air, and have responded well already, with over £100,000 raised in pledges so far, and that is only in the first week, giving everyone hope that the project can be saved.

In fact the actual sum of pledges received so far is £109,775 and that means £190,000 is needed by the end of this month, to get to the first milestone, before the Vulcan team can continue working on the aircraft, and get it prepared for a potential, and vitally important airshow season ahead.

If you haven't pledged yet, then please do so, if you wanted to see just why we should keep this magical aircraft in the air then please view the videos listed on this blog, and you'll soon see why it's like no other, with an unbelievable sound, and shape in the air.

Believe me, if you haven't seen it in the flesh, it's a display that sets your stomach trembling, such is the power from those engines!

Please, pledge today here, and whilst you're there, sign the birthday card and help try and create a world record:
