    great info, i guess he was exagerating for TV purposes. I hope you dont mind me firing these questions at you, Did you have any dealings with the ECM onboard the VULCAN, One documentory describes having to give 24hrs warning of operating certain ECM, as it knocked out TV reception across a certain area. And yet another question, during your service on the V FORCE what type of weapons were the aircraft armed with. Nuclear dropped/stand off or other types of weapon, seeing as the Detterent had switched to submarines in 69. (again anohter fact learned form the TV so apologies if its pie in the sky)
    Sorry to bombard you but its a real treat to be able to ask questions to someone who has actually got the T shirt etc etc, so thanks again 🙂

    FASCINATING info, thanks for sharing that, if i may trouble you with another question, what lengths of time did spend fully suited up. ie was if for the whole shift, and if so how long was that. in an interview on the return to the skies docu shown on sky. an electronics officer recalls difficulty in sleeping in what amounts to a 3 layered suit with some sort of cooling system built in and connectors everywhere 😮 …………..

    Yes, i think the VALIENT footage may be on the CLASSIC BRITISH JETS : THE VALIENT. dvd, which fingers crossed is in the post. Is the cosford valient the actual one that dropped the ATOMIC BOMB. we saw it last week when we visited…………standing under the VFORCE aircraft is a real eye-opener. thanks for the info!!

    We sat there for ages, whilst i messed about with my new camera, trying to get the best exp of 603 at that distance, tripod out and everything, they even waved at us when they came closer,

    Do you often get up to Woodford, and if so what other Aircraft can be seen There regularly, or is it pretty much light aircraft :confused:

    Visited today (9th Sept) and took the same shot everybody else takes,

    but 603 had a visitor, I assumed it was one of the Nimrods being fitted out at woodford. Not sure if we were supposed to photograph it (as i believe cameras are STRICTLY not allowed on site), but they towed the aircraft right up to us and waved, as they turned onto the runway and took it into the factory complex……………Having not seen a Nimrod (please excuse my newbie status) , i cant help thinking they borrowed the design from a tacky low budget “B” movie they use to show on BBC2 on saturday mornings :rolleyes:
