Vulcan bomber hits target

Tim Muffett and the Vulcan bomber

Last week we reported on a campaign to keep an RAF Vulcan bomber flying.

The Vulcan is no longer in service, and there are only 16 left with only one that stands a realistic chance of getting airborne again.

Following Tim Muffett's report last week, there was a surge in donations helped along by Breakfast viewers.

Tim returned to Leicestershire and revealed the project to restore the Vulcan would now be saved thanks to the additional money

The preservation team are labouring to refit the Avro Vulcan and restore it to airworthiness - the aircraft stands out because of its massive delta-wingspan.

It saw service with the Royal Air Force from 1953 to 1984 , and flew missions during the Falklands war

At nearly 100 feet long, the aircraft originally flew with a crew of five; Breakfast will bring you more when Vulcan XH558 finally makes its first flight, when the restoration is complete.
