Obviously we all hope that the Vulcan will fly, but if not the airshows will always have this baby to fall back on. Not to sure how to cut a link in but if you are in Ebay see item 110118675790 . Providing it isn’t seen landing we might just about get away with it!

And somebody on the ground with a REALLY good sound system and SUBWOOFER! 😀

I’m a bit confused? The last I heard of WG307 she had crashed in South Africa? :confused:

Here is a picture of her.

How come she’s now in a garish yellow scheme??

Air Atlantique’s Chippy is in the CUAS colours so I’ll ask if anybody has anything that could help you on Saturday.

Absolutely, it is only fair that whilst you are stuck in the classroom, there should be interesting machinery grumbling past the window!

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

If you leave one of the Dakota flights till last we can try out our newly learned skills! 😮 😀

I’m pretty sure that to satisfy the terms of the Lottery grant she has to fly in a realistic cold war colour scheme.

Nice picture Eric, had the pleasure of watching her flying around the local area on Friday while working. It’s a shame she’s going she will be missed.

All the best,

Dave

Excellent stuff!

Reminds me of the photographs of the prototype being taken from Brough to wherever the first flight was, being towed by an ancient vehicle – if memory serves, a traction engine! The antithesis of the state-of-the-art jet and the antedeluvian means of transporting it was amusing to say the least. Can’t find any pics, sadly.

Unfortunately not a traction engine (although I like the thought) but a seperate HGV tractor unit and trailer with the NA39 wrapped in a protective coating. The route from Brough to Bedford was checked for clearances prior to the trip by a HGV tractor and trailer carrying a very large but effective wooden rig!

Well done to the Bucc Society for all their work with this old bird. 🙂

I understand the USAF special forces Hercs use the airfield for practice on occasions, I’ve seen USAF one’s there a couple of times. I know nothing about these aircraft though, just going on what I’ve been told / read. 🙂
