It's not a simple as how many hours left on the frame as there are other considerations. Have a read back in this thread if you are interested.

Andy. I'd love a look inside, I'll wager that she is probably in better fettle than she ever was operationally

Very cool ;-) Hate seeing people tap instruments in aircraft though! Despite popular belief, it's a big no no...

There was a good piece on the BBC Breakfast this morning about the Vulcans and Blackbuck, speaking to a pilot and nav who took part. I've read the book about it, but it seemed to be to be a good informative piece, might be worth looking it up on Iplayer, I'm assuming it will be available.
