I think most of us here share the same values but have different ways of expressing it.
To demonstrate the point, I wrote these words back in March 2009:-
"For me personally, the most important point is that a group of dedicated individuals managed to perform the 'impossible'. Inevitably, the doubters have always been lurking in the shadows - all too quick to write this off as another impossible dream and assert that none of us should waste time with intangible and abstract things such as aspirations, visions or fantasies. I strongly believe that this type of negative-thinking is slowly strangling our society and that it accounts for many commercial and personal failures in the UK every day. It helps to explain why we can no longer produce miracles of engineering like Concorde, TSR2 - or even vaccuum-cleaners..."
"Consequently, I am proud beyond words that the Vulcan team has weathered the storm and now has something so beautiful and so noisy with which to send doubters scuttling back under their rocks for a long time to come. I sincerely hope that young people over the coming years will see this aircraft, learn how she was saved and be inspired. I want them to learn that 'impossible' normally means 'lazy', 'excuse' or 'no imagination' and that they are entirely capable of achieving just about anything so long as they apply enough intelligence, stamina and courage."
I mention this because I am (quite obviously) a huge supporter of XH558 but I feel the time has come for her based on my own engineering background, my experience as a flight-safety professional & the instincts I am developing as a wannabe pilot. Yes, she could be re-built & re-engined (requiring certification as a new type of aircraft) but at an absolutely huge cost (£100M+) so it won't happen - sad but (even with my 'can do' attitude) I have to say, true.
