A toughy for me, I have allways been split between the two and never really considered an either or scenario.

The Vulcan to me is a beautifull lady that gracefully dances around the sky with such agility and power and those screaming Olympus engines, this is the thing though, she just doesn’t look brute enough.

The Victor on the other hand to me is a mighty sledgehammer, a powerfull looking animal of an aircraft that could deliver a very bad day, bomb loads would have not been important if the types had stayed in service a little longer as free fall bombing has given way to prescision munitions, IIRC the Vulcan was fitted with LGB’s for trials but never implimented.

Beauty, agility and power….

Hard looking, fast flying sledgehammer……

I can’t clarrify that any more XL391, it depends on how you read the piece and how the author interpreted his research.

From my point of view he directly quotes that mod 2222 was estimated to cost 1.2m in 92 by the MOD and that it actually cost the TVOC £80,000.

Quite what else is involved in the mod 2222 I do not know so you could be very right in what you say, MOD cost of 1.2m would have involved a lot more and TVOC’s quote of £80,000 might have just been for wacking some plates on and riveting them into place;) .
