AVRO VULCAN PENCILLED IN FOR THE PARIS AIR SHOW 2009

XH558 is the only airworthy Vulcan in the world. Restored to flight after nearly 15 years at a cost of £7million. She now faces grounding forever, unless an additional £850,000 can be raised in February enabling funds for another full air show season. Last year she appeared in front of over 1.5 million people.

Please help us to fulfill the dream of a Vulcan flying at the Paris Air Show 2009.
