    Strictly speaking apart from a couple of exceptions none of the K & M models (FG1 & FGR2s) can be called “Spey Engined” because they all have had their engines removed and mountings cut out……

    XT597 was probably our last chance of having an active (fast taxiing) K or M model unless Duxford do something with XV474 or we can get XT899 repatriated from Aviation Museum, Kbely, Czech Republic

    For the uninitiated (me), what is the time scale for changing two engines (assuming that has to happen)?

    The RAF, I understand, could change an ECU in a single shift, maybe theres a Sooty out there who can confirm or rubbish this idea 😉

    i know the XL426 group have a couple of spare engines. I don’t know if they are airworthy of useable.

    think you’ll find they are ‘558’s old original Nos 1+2 engines she flew into Bruntingthorpe on in 1993

    I’d love to get a flap off a Vicky 10, as for a while I was “NCO I/C Flaps” on Red Team in Base. What a great job title! Any spare flaps?!

    Try talking to the people what are breaking them…. http://www.gjdservices.co.uk/NA-3.html

    Pretty sure Dr Robert Pleming had a vulcan based one on an MGF circa 2000/2001 when I took a ride in it 🙂

    See my earlier post and V111CAN is now on his Xtype Jag

    It’s had a lot of work done so far however after blending corrosion on the undercarridge not sure if they carried on. The engine situation is a problem after the recent asbestos scare in europe

    Don’t let Justin hear you cast aspertions on his commitment, he works on it every week sometimes more..
    As to an engine? attempts to source one are being explored… then we may taxy it but thats sometime away

    Sorry…I’ll rephrase this :o….. nearest to capable of returning to flight that I know of…. having been Intimately involved with ‘558s return, I know the hoops that would have to be jumped through to get it airbourne 🙂
