Is it just me or is the vulcan being at soutport a bit low key apart from this forum and and the tvoc website there has been no other coverage I can find, even the offical southport website still states
“Q. Will the Vulcan XH558 be at the Southport Air Show?

A. No, the Vulcan XH558 is not scheduled to be at the show.”

If i had sponsored XH558 i would be shouting it from the rooftops, but thats just me 😀

Yeah Defiant and Battle are close contenders but I think Defiant has the advantage:

Battle was crap because it was outdated almost immediately it entered service and was employed in poor tactics. But the Defiant was crap by design. Fundamentally flawed (no forward firing weapons and the turret made it under-performing).

The only thing the Defiant succeeded in defying was common sense!

I remember seeing either a lancaster or a halifax fitted with a defiant turret, surely that has to be -1 for uselessnes??? 😀

Sorry for all the questions but does the APU carry on running in flight because if both engines fail it would have to start up pretty quick or is that what the batteries are for, to power the electrical systems while the APU gets going?

I found versions of these books on amazon printed in 2001 does anyone know if this is an updated version or a reprint, thanks.

If the fcs is quadrupally redundent then what happens if both engines fail, is there some back up system like a RAT? Four computers without power are no good to anyone 😀
