Sounds like a great sight. These types of A/C are very expensive to maintain in flying condition. Unless some well-heeled sponsor can be found, they will slowly fade away to museums.

Hi all,        After a morning of fairly low cloud cover this afternoon cleared 
nicely. A 30 min trip put me on the flightpath for the last flying Avro Vulcan aka 
"The Tin Triangle'. This Vulcan is due to be retired at the end of this flying 
season and is at present flying a farewell tour of the UK. The Vulcan made a low 
pass over my spot, banked right and seemed to put the hammer down as it receded into 
the distance!A very impressive machine which will no longer grace out skies. To me 
it ranks alongside Concorde. Regards John Duggan, Wales, UK
