hey rob
the aircraft in question is the complete survivor XR220 at RAFM Cosford
a quick search revealed this

she seems to be all wrapped up in tape and horrid things, it seems so strange that an aircraft so advanced was being transported on a lorry from what appears to be the stone age 😮

ah thanks for that 🙂 still 10k for a two seat mach two interceptor that looks like it would be at home eating a raw zebra, is a fair price 😀
slightly confuzzled about the price. i think it says the starting bid is 1000,00 ZL which at current exchange rates is £206 :confused: though my polish isn’t what it once was 😎
im confused about the issue over a “Spar mod”
i thought a shack would have had to be completely resparred to fly in this country again? is this the “Mod” or is the mod not a complete respar?
ben
undenyably eyecatching though 😀 :diablo:
well partly to do with fund raising, the tvoc website have recently closed the forum unless you have donated (over the internet i believe – not sure) or are a club member, if they need moremoney why do this. i always thought the vulcan was the “Publics aircraft” (are something along those lines). If you need money why close one of your key media sources?
Thanks, ive had my moan
i read the bulletin on their website as a cause of their closure, and i think you’ll find that it was closed to the general public, due to a large number of pornographic posts being posted there? or am i wrong?
i dont care if it is pink….get her flying so i can see her!:D
second!!!
(anyone know where the infamous McDonalds paintscheme is on here? :diablo: )
I’m not saying we shouldn’t show concern but breaking up and re-use of concrete runways/peri tracks has been going on in rhe UK for decades now – most notably as hardcore for new motorways.

I.e Greenham Common and the newbury bypass? 🙁
I think perhaps what is being got at, is the reasons for the sound being made? where the vulcans tradmark “howl” when accelerating on takeoff, is caused by air resonating with the intakes, and the blue note on the hunters, being caused by resonation with the gun ports, the canberra makes her noise for a different reason? just my opinion 🙂
Ben
i can certainly hear some howling that sounds fairly unique here, is this what you are getting at SB?
wow, is there any chance of posting them on here? 🙂
Ah fair enough, though it is an easy thing to see i would hope, considering that the door design and cockpit glass seem to be almost identical to the hughes design. its a good looking aircraft though, are there any still flying in this country?
the cockpit pod looks suspiciously like a modified hughes helicopter. anyone clarify this?
aah touché monsieur :p
were the CAA nicer back then?
OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT ALL THOSE AIRCRAFT !!!! 😮 zero timed “crated” DB601 and Zero Timed prop blades 😮 *Drools*
