    Now i have confused myself 😮 were there 2 vulcans at farnborough, as if you watch the film at the beginning, you do actually see a vulcan with the modded leading edge, but further on, during the actual roll isnt that a vulcan with the unmodified leading edge (pure delta), again apologies for my lack of knowledge…

    To add my thoughts to the topic, I was(still am) a complete newbie to historic aircraft, and only had eyes for the spits and lancs due to an intrest in ww2, but this forum and the most learned guys on here have awaken a keen interest in all things aviation, especially cold war jets……the great thing about this forum is that the guy’s (and girls) on here dont think themselves to aloft to answer basic and sometimes obvious (to them) questions about all subjects which doesnt make me afraid to as questions like “what does this bit do” etc etc……and the depth of knowledge and experience is excellent….I have learnt a lot from this forum and hope to continue so………..THANKS SO MUCH!!!

    Whilst as Cosford I also stood under the Vulcan, and with seeing it in the skies at a distance you (well i do) just how huge the wing area is, and comparing that the the small span of the TSR2 ……was the TSR2 years ahead of its time in terms of design of the wings or just as moggy has said, just not designed to have the agilty of a fighter!!!

    an ICBM targetted all airfields the Vs operated from, including all dispersal sites

    Its makes you “shudder” when you think of just how much of the UK would have been targeted….and if it did kick-off how much of the UK would be destroyed. Im guessing probably the biggest target nearest to me would have been USAF/RAF Burtonwood because as you guys know it was a huge storage/forwarding depot to feed a war in Europe….and a V-Bomber dispersal point….Id love to find out if there were any loaded aircraft at Burtonwood during the days surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis awaiting a scarmble!!!
