    nothing substantial, just a few plaques and serial stamped parts. just out of interest, who was behind the saving of the two remaining examples? i mean weren’t they all assigned destruction orders? must have been a station commander somewhere who decided they were not for the scrapheap and put in the back of a hanger under wraps until the time war right?

    Thankyou one and all for a truly enthusiastic responses, the painting and those photos are exellent really spot on i enjoyed looking at them,, its one hell of an aircraft (in laymans term it just looks so edgy and full of menace) everything a bear should be and more, so come on RAf museum/Duxford?Cosford/Elvington?Newark etc etc Oh and East Fortune get talking to uncle boris, ITS BEARTIME PLAYMATES!!!!!!!:cool: 😎 😎 😎

    considering that one of them is basically the size of a B52, wouldnt they need to fly one into the museum, could they land one at cosford :confused: would love to see one though, that would be an awesome addition to the collection at dx

    having read Vulcan 607, i would have said watching a vulcan fly up the grand canyon would be amazing, having only ever seen a video of one fly, i would have to say that seeing one in a full power climbout would have to be the most awesome sight ever!

    It isn’t necessarily loud – just a deep ‘thrum’ – and according to some – nauseating.

    Bears – in transit to Cuba in the old days – have apparently been picked up by the American SOSUS underwater listening devices strung along the seabed off the coast of the US!!:eek:

    Ken

    so its a loud deep thrum then? :diablo:

    going with the above, how much would a restorable rolls royce merlin cost? or preferably a griffon.
