    God…. the saga continues… I think Wildcat has a good point… the people with XL391 nose aren’t concerned with preservation more like milking it for what they think they can get, its nowhere near worth £4,000, and no there was no reserve on it on ebay… they are taking the P**ss!

    and think of all the dads who will want to show there kids and partners the mighty Vulcan that they remember from there youth.

    excuse me! 🙂 and Mums too!(lol) My son is 3 and already recognises a “Vulcan” at 40 paces!
    It is important to me that my son knows of the Heritage and Preservation efforts of all aircraft….as well as my favourite (the Vulcan) and if it inspires him to join the RAF I will be one happy Mummy…. 🙂

    I go to RIAT, to see the B1B Lancer especially…. and have so for the last 6 years…
    Chivalry is not dead… and if the two guys who let me into their place so that I could set up my camera equipment read this…. just wanna say thanks! See you there this year! She hit “rotate” just about where I was and the noise was awesome, deafening and just fabulous….spectacular aircraft… one of my favourites…
