Most jet engines, if it burns  and is thin and isn't petrol, it'll work! Excludes paper etc

Indeed and AVGAS works in diesel engined trucks etc....... Smokes a bit tho'.

Don't you mean AVTUR. Snoops?

IIRC, AVGAS is the equivalent of high octane petroleum spirit (aka petrol) which diesel engines are not too keen on!

Vulcan bomber XH558 to be grounded

The last airworthy Vulcan bomber will fly for the final time next year, the trust which funds the aircraft has confirmed.

The XH558 has been based at South Yorkshire's Robin Hood Airport since March 2011 after the RAF Lyneham base closure was announced.

It has been decided that "challenging modifications" to both wings would not be sustainable to the old aircraft.

The Vulcan to the Sky Trust said it decided not to fund the repairs.

Trust chief executive Dr Robert Pleming told supporters: "At the end of next year, she will need a £200,000 modification to her wings to increase her flying life.

"We know that you would do your upmost to fund this work, but for a number of reasons we have decided not to ask you to take this risk."

Isn't it sad...?

All that money they piss away on foreign aid and they can't find two hundred bags of sand for this....
