really??? the cost of an airworthy venom is about Β£30k?
had to miss out second half of my surname, but G-ABHG turns out to have been a Saunders Roe Cloud interesting looking thing lol. if i put G-BHGN it comes out as an “Evans VP-1” though i prefer the Saro Design π
a great shame none the less π
evanescence bring me to life, excellent song π thats a pretty insane vid, i cant wait to get into an aircraft like that (i hope i get the chance) it looks like they’re all just having a laugh lol i love the bit at 3:14 so cool π
a truly magnificent creation, you have some serious talent there cees π im dead jealous π
ive said about putting money towards it, and i know another chap who was interested in doing it, though realistically i cant be much of a commitment to her for a year or so, would be good to see her at brunty and running again π
does the fact that the time has been extended mean, that possibly no one has put in a bid? or that many have?
oh blast, well im sure there has got to have been another close call in its flying career somehwere, cheers jon
sorry, dont get me wrong a sterling effort by all. she was the first warbird/classic i ever remember seeing all those years ago at my first duxford airshow. not many aircraft get the courtesy of three rebuilds! im glad she will fly again. the question i have raised above is one my father and i were discussing the other day, we decided its always got to be second time lucky π all the best
Ben
does anyone get the feel that she’s jinxed?
thats a good positive question LL, why is everyone arguing at the moment? :confused: i cannot wait to see the old girl fly π
I hope I dont come in for too much flack on this, but it really is an ugly looking thing isn’t it.. I mean the Mk1 nose!
Not withstanding the fact that I dont like the look of it, I wish you all th very best of luck, and congratulate you on the progress you’ve made!
Well done… you’re a credit to the preservation scene!
what he said π
jesus thats a little excessive for a merlin isnt it?!
I have been inside Vulcan XL360 at MAM in Coventry a number of times and she is in fantastic condition and is very well looked after.
And to answer a previous query yes Duxfords Vulcan was delivered by Martin Withers funnily i am rereading vulcan 607 and just read that part.
One question relating to that, did the RAF ever refit the refueling probes to the museum aircraft they took them from? and keeping on topic would any damage have occured from taking them off/putting them back on?
curlyboy
im pretty sure they did refit the probes after the falklands, i think its mentioned in Vulcan 607, if you havent read it, it is a FANTIASTIC read and is just unbelieveable!
Donβt Always Assume the Airframes in national museum are safe cosford scraped their original Vulcan….
and their Victor B.1 i think the reason given was the same as that of the vulcan, travesty considering that the vulcan was the last complete B1 in the world
