    It is a tantalising prospect as a cockpit section but as other people have said it is the totally ludicrous price that is surely putting everyone off!

    I was about to suggest that myself! LOL 😀

    There is probably quite a fine line between the purchase price and restoration cost of this nose and buying another Vulcan nose which has been removed well and is internally intact or not far from it.

    But surely there is the potential there though!? 😀

    Jon – Realistically how much would it take to rebuild the Vulcan with all the pieces that were ‘removed’ from the cockpit over the years?

    Fair comment. What state was the cockpit in at the time of scrapping anyone? Or phrasing it from another and probably more apt way what has been removed that could not be replaced should someone decide to preserve the nose? Last time i saw it the sticks and most of the instrument panels either gone or been ransacked.

    Well, i waz gonna suggest we all chip in to buy it. 😮

    But as were still short on the £1,000 needed in pledges etc.. for the Shackleton purchase, i think £2K is out of our depth perhaps ? :confused:

    .

    Price aside for a moment (easy to say i know! :rolleyes: ) is there the interest from people to acquire and preserve 391’s cockpit?

    Also I thought you guys had managed to get the the cash together for the Shack nose?

    I was just about to ask that very question myself! 😀

    Out of sheer curiosity does anyone have plans of rescuing and restoring Vulcan XL391’s cockpit?

    Also look forward to hearing of progress on the Shack cockpit! If its North West based then will be glad to lend a hand – not much to help restore up here!
