From the Vulcan to the Sky site:
S P AVIATION COVERS THE SHORTFALL AT SHOREHAM
Sandra and Bob Pharo of S P Aviation, who run the Delta Lady stand at Airshows and the online Shop, have kindly offered to finance the shortfall in funding to ensure that subject to serviceability XH558 will make an appearance at the Shoreham Airshow. Day and time to be confirmed
but note the "subject to serviceability" after it had more problems last week.

I'm a couple of miles from Biggin Hill, now they now how to have an air show ! Trouble is I get a bit blase as I am used to Lancasters and Flying Fortresses flying overhead not to mention Spitfires. We had a Mosquito recently too. The jets terrify the dogs though

Media Information For Immediate Use
29th August 2008
Statement from the Vulcan to the Sky Trust
With great regret, the Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTST) has to announce that the long-awaited appearance of Vulcan XH558 at the Bournemouth and Shoreham Airshows over the weekend of 30th and 31st August will not now be possible.
VTST were very much looking forward to bringing Vulcan XH558 to the South Coast, and remain fully aware of the huge public interest that has been created by the much anticipated return of the aircraft to these displays.
After her last flight on Friday 22nd August, it was discovered that XH558 had suffered a failure of the retraction mechanism for one of her landing gear doors, grounding the aircraft. Whilst the repair was relatively simple, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond VTST’s control, the technicians from Marshall Aerospace, XH558’s Engineering Authority, who are required to inspect and certify the repair, are not available until Monday.
Robert Pleming, Chief Executive of the Vulcan to the Sky Trust said “Our policy that safety is paramount dictates that we must do everything by the book. We must adhere absolutely to the processes and procedures which ensure that XH558 will be safe when she flies. Both the Trust and Marshall Aerospace are extremely sad that despite every effort, the Vulcan is unable to appear at Bournemouth and Shoreham. This is a huge disappointment for us, but more so for all of those who were looking forward to seeing XH558 this weekend.”
