Just watched it. Brilliant. However, the spectator in the Union Jack dress! :shock: I'm not sure what is going on there!

There's more than that goes on down Bruntingthorpe

They have a collection of cold war aircraft, some flyinh and others able to taxi along , like the Victor they have there

Funnily enough there was a 1/2 an hour prog on one of the discovery channels today about the Victor and other aircraft there, including a flying Buccaneer

Must get back down there not been for a few years now

seeing that 'bloke' in the Union Jack dress, I can see what you mean! :shock:

SSteve:
Vulcan XH558 (G-VLCN) is Scheduled to have 2 more Test Flights from Bruntingthorpe before transferring to Waddington for CAA Testing.
The Engineers/Techs/Crew at TVOC.CO.UK and Marshalls Aerospace who have done the Work on the Vulcan have kept a part of British History alive.

XH558 will have about 14-15yrs worth of Airshow/Flypast Service owing largely to 4 New Engines, then She will be Retired to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford in Cambs.

Although XH558 is now Flying, the Calls for Support/Donations will not stop as the Estimate is £1.7m Per Year for Costs and this needs to come from somewhere.


Sorry Bishops Finger ..
There's no plans for a Mossie YET!! But I'd sign up to help if there was!!
It'd be impressive to get another "Wooden Wonder" Flying again
