The Avro Vulcan flies again

Taken from the http://www.tvoc.co.uk/ website,

The return of Avro Vulcan XH558 to the air today in a 34-minute test flight marks the spectacular end of a 10-year effort, and the start of a brand new phase in the life of this amazing aircraft.
This huge achievement, unique in the history of aviation, owes everything to a massive team effort. The financial support of many tens of thousands of members of the public and the Heritage Lottery Fund, added to a superb contribution from Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace, the support of BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and many other aerospace companies, and of course the Trustees and employees of the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, made this happen.

Great to see this cold war British Icon flight worthy again.

There's already a discussion about it in the NOTAM thread.
