Scream for the Vulcan Bomber
Bruce Dickinson was recently spotted at the Blackpool Airport in Lancashire, UK. He was there to show support for one of the last remaining british 60s bomber in existence, the Vulcan Bomber.
This particular Vulcan Bomber XL391, still in action during the Falkland war, had gotten famous some time ago, for after failing to be restored, the Blackpool Air Centre Flying School did auction it on eBay to make room on their airfield. The winning bidder wanted to put it on the back garden of his pub.
A blasphemy for many airplane enthusiats which surley prompted new action towards a restoration of this plane which had suffered from no preservation work for 20 years.
As part of this promotion, Bruce was invited to give a little speech. His mastery of stage antics combined with his passion of planes have surely had the crowd fired up.

Yeah, it would be nice to see one.
Sadly, it seems that this promotion activity has been ignored by the british press so far.
I've been trying to find information about this, but not to avail.
Maybe this week some paper will have an article about this, we'll see. TV coverage ? I haven't about anything.
So, finding a video will be even harder 
Cheers
