wow, what a great site. Thanks for that.

Never knew there was a B-29 fire-bomber ! 😮

Or even more radical than that and chop below the flight deck floor….?

Sorry Jon, did i crop the picture wrong ?

That was my best guess at where the pilots floor would be, as its many, many years since i was last inside a Vulcan 🙁

Regarding the cost, I think Bruce is absolutely right. Given what’s left in the cockpit, albeit a bit ‘tatty’, and the rarity of the type it’s probably not such a bad asking price after all. Heck, there’s probably getting on for 400-500 quids worth of seats in there for starters.

Hummm, exactly what i was thinking Mark.

If it really was ’empty’ as some have said, the cost of sourcing the seats for example, would be additional to the £2K.

And given the size & condition of this example, maybe a flight-deck only display could be salvaged ? But it’ll be a brave man who spends that amount only to throw away 70%+ of the metal 😮

whats the one pic off it looks like the thimble but close up? part of an engine or something?

Pete,

Isn’t that the TFR thimble from the nose (photo 1 shows a hole where it should be) :confused:

Wasn’t he going to shred it if there were no takers?

What… the TFR or the cockpit itself ? 😮

Surely ~somebody~ has £2K lying around ?

Are there seriously no Vulcan enthusiasts interested in it ? I find that hard to believe……..

.

Thats all I know……have been over it a few times now. Will try and take a camera next time. Markings are still quite visible on the wings – its just not the sort of thing that you expect to find in Darkest Devon! 🙂

Martin,

I ~am~ in darkest Devon also !

And only 12 miles from Dulverton where filming took place. Can you divulge and/or PM more precise details please ?

😀

Looks nice.

I’ve not heard of that type before. Anybody know where & how it would have been used in service ?

WK576 Chippax, should be in the loving care of 1206 Sqdn ATC in Lichfield, Staffs’.

Don’t forget the famous ‘BUFF without its fin’ incident…….. 😮
