    That is very sad news.
    I went to the Geneseo airshow this year. It poured down. The crowd spent most of the day huddled together under wings of DC-3s and the B-17. The static park turned into a lake (interesting seeing a P-40 skiing past on wheels).
    Luckily Charlie Foxx was commentating and thanks to his stories it was a really enjoyable day. He kept them coming all day long. I’d never heard any of them before and he delivered them with such humility.

    At the end the other commentator asked him back for next year to which he replied that he’d keep commentating as long as his health held.

    According to “Vulcan from a Different angle” by Craig Bulman (a great book for finding what mod happened to what aircraft when) of the 34 blue steel vulcans those still around are;

    XL318 (Hendon), XL319 (NEAM), XL360 (Coventry), XL361 (Goose bay), XL426 (Southend), XM575 (East Midlands) and XM594 (Newark).

    Apparently not all of these had two counterpoise plates (XL426 didn’t).
