How is the Victor and the other aircraft, I have heard that floodwaters from the recent storm have hit York, and more locally Elvington, very badly.
Here is a tribute movie I produced trying to follow her eight years of post restoration flying. Sorry I couldn’t include everything but hopefully it will give enjoyment to some of you.
Here is a mini-movie in memory of the post flying life of the worlds last airworthy all British designed and built aircraft, known as The Spirit of Great Britain. Vulcan XH558 endured a multi-million pound rebuild that many thought would never succeed. After 14 years since retirement from the RAF, the Vulcan To The Sky Trust painstakingly restored her to airworthy status and this movie pays tribute to the world final airworthy Vulcan Bomber since October 2007, following through to it’s final flight on the 28th October 2015. XH558 will never take off again, with it’s permit to fly ceased and the vital technical support from companies such as Rolls Royce, BAE Systems and Marshalls Engineering no longer available. XH558 will spend the remainder of her life inspiring young people into aerospace and engineering careers as well as educating others on the vital role the Vulcan fleet played during the height of the cold war.
Please note: this movie is produced in HD, apart from the initial restoration, as HD was not mainstream at this time.
Enjoy
Are you doing anything Sunday with the Vulcan Display over the museum?
Amazing! Thanks so much, in terms of value, I guess I will have to see what the market would pay for such an item.
I’ll have a look for any numbers on it. I’m baffled!
great photo of xl231 looking ready to shoot with xh558 appearing on finals behind her!
Howard, Please could more than 1 days notice be given for the APU run of the Vulcan. I’m sure this is an event many of us would be interested to see at close quarters, and I think had more people been aware it would have attracted extra visitors for this unique occasion.
What about the October aeroboot?
Different to comet but I have 2 Nimrod MR2 cockpit seats.
Looks great!
This place is about 30mile north or MCR, worth a visit!

If you PM me, I could potentially do the backlightable panels for you with some info provided.
I’ve imported aircraft parts from US to UK last week. It was 20% VAT. So I guess your bill is a grand plus their handling fees etc of maybe £50. You will need to give them a call given the fact you’re a museum. Perhaps ring them unrelated to your shipment and tell them the aircraft part is for a museum and see what code they give you, and then see if it matches the code they’ve put on it.
