Hello chaps.
Just watched the Vulcan story and saw some nice video of the 603 gang working on getting her running again. It sounds like she has one seized engine for sure but they couldnt get another running for tech reasons.
Any news lately on her??

If you …have all the correct equipment on site to do that you might have a chance.
Well not on me, no.
Shame.
I suppose the best we can hope for is that the Vulcan population is consolidated into a manageable number of aircraft, preferably including the really significant ones like XM607, that can be maintained in superb condition, and that the opportunities for recovering spares aren’t lost when airframes like 603 are scrapped.
Don’t suppose there’s any chance of recovering the nose section of 603 in reasonable condition, i.e. not chopped off with the business end of a JCB and dropped on the tarmac?

If you can find a way of dismantling her which would satisfy the Health & Safety requirements of BAe Systems and have all the correct equipment on site to do that you might have a chance. The last people to do that were the RAF with the move of the Vulcan to Hendon. I would suggest a Vulcan move by road would be £100K plus.

Any chance of it being saved?

It’s still intact as of last week.
