Avro Vulcan XL391

Although a website has been set up for the infamous Blackpool Vulcan, HAs anyone had any luck contacting them? I emailed them months ago and no reply. The site hasnt changed since it was first placed on the internet over a year ago?

Stripped for parts?

I find this highly unlikely. Anything worthy has already been “liberated” from the cockpit and any airframe parts are too far gone! Might be some useful parts such as engine parts or PFCU’s??

It might be possible to strip some useful items off the airframe for some of the more realistic vulcan preservations but really this is a scrap job. A lesson in how not to do it. I hope the Beverly survives better in a similar environment (salt air).

This has to be a total scam but sadly I expect some people have sent in money etc.

To be honest the sooner this Vulcan scrapped the better as its not going to be saved and if nothing is done the whole thing will just collapse as the undercarriage is totally ****ed.
