For what it's worth, the new 70-300 F4-5.6 zoom will be VR, presumably the latest version, though whether or not the optics will be any good is another issue. By all accounts the current zoom is not so hot at 300mm.
Out of curiosity, when you refer to your big lens attracting interest, are you suggesting that you could be mugged?
BTW you have some nice shots on your web site. As a teenager I used to live near Stoughton in Leicestershire, and could watch the airshow from the garage roof. It was pretty good then but that was 20 years ago.
