As an update, Avro Vulcan B2 XL319 will not die. Having inspected the internals, she is saveable and will be saved. To those who have seen her recently, she looks alot worse than she actually is. A plan is being formed for her rejuvenation, but we need alot of things:
A mountain of concrete for a new hardstanding
Jet pipe ends
Re-skinning the fin and flying controls
Enough paint to sink a battleship….
All cockpit glass and nav lights (thanks to vandals)
Reseal the canopy
Address the corrosion on the spars (actually the first job)
Main gear leg doors x2
If anyone can help with these parts and jobs, PM me please. Serious offers of help only please.
For the Vulcan owners – we may be willing to exchange sevicable internals (except visible cockpit items) in exchange for servicable external parts.
Anyone got a telephone number or e-mail for the 603 association?
