It Flies!!!
SteveGoodz:
EXCELLENT!! Well done to the guys and gals that made this happen.
I recently read a book about the Vulcan raid on Port Stanley airfield during the Falkland War ~ how they ever managed to pull it off is nothing short of a flippin' miracle. Their reward was to have the squadrons disbanded almost immediately hostilities were over. Typical!
Disco-Ron:
Not sure if you will all have seen this... it's off the bbc site.....

Vulcan 617
A brilliant book!!, the logistics were mind-boggling for the inflight refuelling
Range Rover Blues:
Incredible. If you look at the sort of cars/trucks that were about when they first flew it really brings things into perspective. Definitley the best of British, shame we can't do that sort of thing today :roll:
hobbit:
I like the remark by one of the crew, its all British made except the garmin gps :lol:
They reckon it will be good for 15 years and then retired off into a museum
Another remark by an RAF guy was this is privately owned and nothing to do with the RAF
Wonder if there are other ideas floating around now for any other cold war aircraft to be restored
