It's not like it's gonna get cheaper to run in the future, can you really justify such an expense to keep that thing airworthy?

If you bring me into this, though I agree to your general opinion of the british (very generalizing, sorry) being too much on the history side of things making them somewhat blind to current realities, I do not think going to the other side of the extremes is much healthier. You still need to know where you come from to decide where to go next.
And in regards to money, I rather see ppl coming together investing in such a project for personal fascination and open display then another hundret millions yacht by some rich schmock just to have another status symbol.
