I don’t see how Carlisle is too close to the sea to stop the vulcan being kept active…….look at the Southend example

It doesnt, but it means you have to keep on top of corrosion issues which can take up a lot of time and budget…. what I was saying if you reread it, i probably worded it badly, was that the rear shrouds had rotted away, but with it being so close to the sea you could not expect anything else… 🙂
Nice pics Tartan Pics notice something missing on mine? I photoshopped the fuel farm out 😉

Excellent shot Tony.

Wasn’t there efforts underway to get the electrics running again?

Thanks, she just sits there and does cockpit visits, the shrouds around the rear of the exhausts have corroded away, but they have painted her of late, but a bit close to the sea for anything else really to happen than to get some corrosion on her..

Fantastic shot there Tony 😎 Do they do fast runs with her or does she just sit there?
