Even today, I do not see the British government making a large effort to preserve it's historic aircraft. Of the V Bombers, I do not think any Valiants are left and I have not read of any preservation projects for the Victor Bomber. A few of the mighty Vulcans are being saved. I have not read much on saving the Avro follow up on the Lancaster and nothing on saving Bucceneers or early Harriers. I can't remember how much of the great TSR-2 was saved, but it was not a whole aircraft. Also I have not seen any of the "rasberry ripple colored " aircraft of the test squadrons of the 70's and 80's being saved from the scrap heap. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]
