	Added 20/2/08: The trust needs a final £150,000 to get plane into the 2008 airshow circuit. Please visit the Vulcantothesky website for details and tell your husbands, friends, boyfriends and the milkman to keep this going. Original message: Probably of little interest to the ladies, but the Vulcan to the Sky Trust has got its aircraft airborne this morning after years of work and fundraising. Last having flown 14 years ago when it was "scrapped" by the RAF, this only airworthy example of this type is now seeking sponsors and should be able to appear in airshows next year. Used in the Falklands War to bomb Stanley airfield, to the great consternation of the Argentinians who thought they were out of bombing range, I have seen one once at a display and it is a breathtaking sight.
