The Vulcan is privately owneed, and after funding , it would continue to be privately owned. Why should it be funded from the public purse. The lottery does give handsomely to Aviation , a certain Hangar at Duxford being an example.
Personally, I look forward to the Vulcan going on Ebay, and being bought by someone with the funds and know-how to get her airborne again. Though I wish he/she/them luck. It's a tremendously complex air frame to keep airworthy, even when it was in Squadron service.
Brighton Pier , is a graphic example of what happens, when you're too busy bickering, infighting and forming committees, to actually protect the very thing that you claim to be interested in.
