    Think you’d be hard pushed to find a more historically significant ship to preserve though Jim-even if it doesn’t look that exciting.

    Course you are right Jim. How do you make something like that interesting for today’s generation of kids? Not easy to do it whilst preserving the remains. Victory is easy to relate to because you are walking through it and you can begin to imagine what it was like but it has very much been mucked about with.

    Der, Thanks for posting the photos, she certainly gets around a bit, from the I of W to the Clyde.On the day I went aboard her, I had left my camera at home, but, yes, thats the ole girl I had the pleasure of seeing.
    Long may she live and float.

    . She is gorgeous Jim. Loved this old girl ever since my first trip as a teenager. I could watch that big old engine going all day .

    I hope your colleaugue is recieving some support to help her dealing with this. For the boy’s family and the other kids in the bus I just cannot begin to imagine how it must be.

    Great pic and thanks for posting it. She certainly looks in better cosmetic shape in that pic than she does now. Yes, I spotted it after I’d had a long chat with one of the staff there and there weren’t any in the vicinity of the Vulcan. First time I had seen the zap.

    Raymond Baxter would have been the very man for this. Great to see Geoffrey Wellum.Poignant quote from him on watching a Spitfire displaying. “Those cockpits are full of ghosts”. Quite.

    I thought it was more to do with tax or something along those lines. Matters not. For its historical accuracy they could have filmed it in the Grand Canyon.

    That film is an embarassment and has nothing at all to do with Scots history.
