There's a short appeal article with photo in the March magazine edition of the IET's Engineering & Technology journal. There's an online version http://eandt.theiet.org/magazine/2012/02/number-news.cfm here.

Another article in the Bournemouth Daily Echo....

Not been visited by the usual trolls yet, however the only comments so far quite rightly wonder if someone hasn't put a new date on an old article....

That new date on an 'old story' is down to me keeping the Echo informed of the current plight. My contact had asked to be kept informed regarding Vulcan. I sent him a link to our current homepage - he did the rest by making it a news item.

....... and yes, no doubt he and the Vulcan will be getting some negative comments - as per usual. On the positive side ... it is publicity and a reminder that a Vulcan STILL exists ! (just)

In this months EVO magazine we get an indirect mention in Nick Trott's Ed Speak.

He is talking about the new Lamborghini Aventador J and mentions that "Without cars like the J, or Adele's voice, or the fact that a Vulcan is still flying (just), or that Ducati built a road-going MotoGP bike, or Slash's guitar playing, life could soon escalate into an exercise in futility."

Only a brief mention but perhaps something that could be followed up on in the future. Petrolheads love her Ladyship. :D

There is also a small piece in today's Sunday Express.
