I saw the mechanic working at the back of the engine area got a few nice photo’s of that and the panels on the floor.:D

How much of a win to put it back in the air?

People were still swimming and surfing in the ocean as a Coast Guard vessel made its way to the wreckage.

Unbeliveable a burning aircraft and there surfing close by!

Should the vulcan have any more problems this might be of use to some…

Are these the things you have to do now to flog this magazine.

At the moment it is in my workshop draining! 65 years of water seeping into it is gradually emptying now it has finally returned to the horizontal. Also the oil lines have ruptured near the front, where part of the sump is missing, so I am trying to catch the oil before it ends up all over the floor as well! I am removing the larger lumps of clay by hand, but a power washer will be involved soon – No stiff brushes or harsh direct jetting as it still retains 99% of it original painted finish and I intend to keep it that way. Then I suspect it will be many evenings of picking out any remaining clay with wooden picks and old toothbrushes, a bit of selective careful dismantling to ensure no clay or water remains in any cavities. I intend to use microcrystalline wax to inhibit the bright parts such as nuts and bolt heads against corrosion and protect the painted finish.

Once you have given it a good clean then what?

Strip it and repair it to a static runner or a full rebuild or just leave it as is?:cool:

On my Ham radio set i have a device that splits from vhf to uhf, you screw both antennas into it and it switches over when you use which ever band.

Why not just use a discone?

I use a ham band vhf antenna for listening to the air band it works perfect even though it’s designed for 144mhz the air band stops at 137, i also use it to listen at 220mhz military it works there too.

Just another thing for best results get this antenna outside on a pole off the chimney, Or the wall the range you will receive will be further it’s line of sight.
