I would simply love to see again three Vulcans taking off together and flying in formation! :-* :-* :-* :-* ;)

We have achieved the "impossible" in railway preservation, so why not in aviation! :-? :-? ;)

Lol, possibly because trains dont have a minimum (reasonable) speed and also have a low risk of falling out the sky and hitting things....  :y

I also doubt even the biggest of the diesel locos could burn 10,000 Lbs of fuel in an hour!

According to google it says 10,000 lb is about 5 short tons??

So what a train burns in a day, take a Vulcan just 1 hour, and thats empty, fully loaded can burn 13,500 lbs an hour!

That's what I was joking about Tunnie, that a steam engine takes all day to burn 5 tons of coal; just a comparison as the mention of diesel railway engines had been made. 8-) 8-) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;)

I cannot leave steam engines out of a discussion on railway engines! ;D ;D ;)

its a plane

It's a plane that was built for a specific purpose (hence has earned it's place in the history books) and showed the true brilliance of British Engineering. It also spearheaded the development of certain other planes that also now have a place in history.
