    I’ve been lead to believe that she is staying ay Bruntingthorpe for good as this is the only place that the CAA will allow her to operate from. May be wrong but that was the view I got??? :confused:

    Grrrr

    The little darlings who use the football fields next to us excelled themselves today. First off, a couple of golf balls were intentionally smacked off the Vulcan while we were working on it, and later in the afternoon, they thought it would be a hoot to set fire to the longer grass around our security fence. Hilarious. If it had spread any quicker, or we had not been there when they set it, the Vulcan could have easily been damaged. Luckily, the grass was slightly damp in places, and we saw them set it alight anyway. They have still managed to singe over 40ft of fencing in less than 10 minutes. Two hours after we had reported it, the police still had not visited. It remains to be seen whether we will still have a Vulcan by the morning. I’ve got a nasty feeling they will come back tonight when there is no-one around. Stay tuned.

    The little bar stewards!! 😡 😡 😡 Is she ok???

    Congratulations firstly go to all at TVOC, but also to those that burnt the midnight oil from Marshalls. And Finally…….

    Not forgetting one gentleman by the name of David Walton who bought the aircraft from the RAF and kept the dream going when all the Nay-sayers where telling us it will never happen……:dev2:

    Humble pie anyone?
