Yes, they used to fly a Vulcan at some of the local air shows every year back when they were operational. I have seen them fly a few times.

Isn't this year the last year they're flying the Vulcan at air shows around the UK? I hear the cost of maintaining to keep them in flying condition is astronomical.

That's what I've read.

Saw that---pretty cool the way they moulded the lower wing and PIT floor...was somewhat under-whelmed with final results but their review builds tend to be a bit bland...
