FUG?????:confused:

I could tell you – but it would be censored!

Lets just say its an ‘affectionate’ term for a new pilot trainee 😉

Not to mention a nice new Classic Flight Club Forum for members – Coming Soon! 😀

Nice to see confidential information appearing on the net again…….:mad:

Oh no, that’s right, it was just the actual return to flight and operation that you doubted, wasn’t it DGH.

Any more for the bandwagon?

:confused: Well I’m at a loss, I’ve just checked back through my posts going back to the beginning of 2005 and I cant find when I’ve ever said anything like that? :confused:

I did say on 13th February 2006 :

I can see were you’re coming from with relation to costs but I actually believe that the Vulcan will be a huge draw at Airshow’s, I think the real issue is going to be what airshows will be able to cope with the crowds! I’ve got no idea what the actual cost to an organiser is going to be but if they manage to do it for say £10,000 then thats 500 people at £20 per head, I honestly dont see that being a problem, certainly not in the first couple of years anyway. I think some people get a bit complacent about some of the aircraft that they have seen many times, talk to jo public about airshows and nearly everyone over the age of 30 will talk Vulcans. I believe alot of the people who have driffted away from the airshow seen will be drawn back (if only for a short while ) by her presence, and think of all the dads who will want to show there kids and partners the mighty Vulcan that they remember from there youth.

I tell ya, they’ll be queuing for miles……….

The closest I can find to me knocking the project is this statement on 5th June 2005, but I don’t think you take it as that?

Stop knocking this project! I to have my own misgivings about this project but this is the only time I have mentioned it and the only time I will. If this project fails you can bet your bottom dollar that any further proposals for aircraft to receieve manufactures support etc on such a large scale will be wriiten off at the drawing board with everyone saying ‘ oh no we got invovled with the Vulcan and look were that got that us! ‘ This project is now deep underway if it fails so potentionally will many more in the future. If you have negative thoughts about this project it does nobody anygood to voice them.

P.S. My ‘own misgivings’ were nothing to do with the return to flight or operation.

Still hasn’t stopped me giving money to the project.

I guess I’ll just have to stay confused? :confused: :confused:

I’ve never doubted the effect of the Vulcan. So I suggest anybody who wants to see her at an airshow next year fly’s in, as the traffic que’s are gunna be huge! 😀

Problem is, it’s not just ‘a few’ pounds anymore – the price of scrap has rocketed. Thats why there are groups of gangs going around making a tidy packet out of it everyday.

That Chippy shot is a cracker. 🙂
