• Can Vulcan return for 2010? The Vulcan Operating Company (TVOC) pulled off what many thought was impossible when it returned XH558 to the air from Bruntingthorpe on 18 October 2007 after 14 years on the ground. To the delight of many, the delta-winged bomber - which had been the last Vulcan to fly in 1993 - made a triumphant return to the air display circuit in 2008. But as the year progressed, there were doubts amid the banking crisis that sufficient funds could be secured to get the aircraft back for a repeat in 2009.

• 787 first flight is just the start for gruelling programme: For Boeing, first flight may have been the end of a long road to get the 787 flying, but the milestone signals a start of a gruelling flight-test programme to validate and certificate technologies never before seen on a commercial aircraft.

• On a lighter and more festive note, we've put together Uncle Roger's Christmas quiz 2010. This is the first time we've put this quiz online and unlike in Flight International, we've afforded you multiple choice. This quiz is not easy, but if you know your eX2s from your GP7200s then you'll do fine.
