That is good news. If only we still had a Lightning and a Vulcan flying too. I hope we'll get to see it at airshows.

Vulcan: If XH558 gets enough money and the MOD allows it.
Lightning: Same reason except one thing. A group here in the US is restoring a T.55 two-seater to flying condition, and the US will most likely allow it to fly. Just think of a two-seater, maybe they will allow rides WOOHOO.

Some guy in Cape Town, South Africa has got a Bucaneer, Hunter and lightning in flying condition. And offers flight to the paying public
