Flipflopman – Keeping it informative it’s certainly a noble goal . However to say it’s irelevant regarding her undercarriage might be true to the uninformed it’s still a fairly important part of most aircraft rebuilds . There has been so much chaff generated by various aspects of this project over the years that it will be a breath of fresh air to see something happen as predicted!

the fitted u/carriage is irelevant because..

a] it’s the old one and …
b] it will have to come off again when the true flight u/carriage arrives back from the OEM after it’s refurb.

After some lengthy (and heated) discussions in the original thread (http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=60964), it has been decided to lock the original thread, and start what one forum member proposed as a clean sheet discussion thread.

let’s just talk Vulcans!

Over to you!

Sanity returns….. lets just get her out of the hangar….. as a first step to flight…

SHE WILL RETURN……. SOON !!!!!!

Personally I don’t think the majority on the VTS board have the guts to do it and would prefer to walk away on September 1st and go back to there day jobs, leaving just one trustee Dr Pleming out of work.
What a way to treat a guy who had a career as a director in Cisco systems, to quit the job for a Vulcan Project!

Vulcan903….. one little point of info.. Dr Robert is NOT a trustee, but an employee, so if this project goes down he will be out of a job like the rest of us.

aren’t the engineers paid by Marshalls………so even though the contract is terminated won’t they go back to working on hercules’……….therefore not out of work unless Marshalls contracted these guys in special

Hi Phil

Only the 6 or 7 technicians are paid by Marshalls, the other 16+ engineers are employed by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust and are therefore on redundancy notice

Agreed. Could be up there with the classics very soon.
A trip to Cosford on Saturday (see separate post for pictures) reminded me just how claustrophobic the Vulcamn cockpit was…

William

Cosford’s cockpit is a MK1 if you want to see the inside of a MK2 we are taking XM602′ cockpit to Waddington and RIAT positioned next to Vulcan to the Sky Trailer with flight crews doing guided tours..

See you Cosford hangar 2 this Sunday

Denis – your thread was a direct response to questions asked about the amount of money required. Therefore it seems to most people to be a logical follow on in answer to some of the questions raised.
The hypothetical question of who will be flying the thing seems to me to be different in its nature to matters of fundraising.

David

I disagree my new thread was a direct plea for money, not a esoteric discussion on who was to fly ‘558…. thats a foregone conclusion….

Still think the two threads should have been kept seperate as mine was intended to try to answer some of the questions raised, instead it was buried in Pauls string???

I am sorry Denis, but I cannot see the connection between your post and the question posed by Black Knight. Could you please explain.

Thank you

Moggy’s excuse for merging mine and Pauls string was quote “pointless haveing two Vulcan strings running together”

So what is this one then???

As I remember Paul’s was about a Flypast article whereas mine was a plea for donations, no way were they linked???
