Thank you for sharing this. I am enjoying hearing some local history and will look into getting the above mentioned book in the future.

Go on then I`l say it… I dont think so but it was still a good airliner :rolleyes:
The two seater was fitted with fly by wire controls while with the R.A.E.
Fly by wire and a delta wing.. Well it worked for the Mirage.

Are you sure, I think they were Hastings wings found still in crates.
Outboard wings I would guess as one of the Hastings wings is painted up in camo and on a Queen Mary at Elvington.
Thank you for some more wonderfull pictures and also for the link in a previous thread wich made very interesting reading.
Please keep them coming.

Can we have some pics please.
Friday 24th July – Sortie Cancelled
Friday, July 24, 2009 – VTTS
We’re very sorry to have to announce the XH558 won’t be flying to Cottesmore and Lowestoft today. A scheduled out-of-phase inspection of the landing gear doors has found a bent bracket, which needs to be replaced. This work is now proceeding, and it is hoped it will be completed in time for Saturday’s displays.
More problems today. Hopefully everything will be ok for Sunderland this weekend.
Is there any way to find out the route the Vulcan will take to Sunderland. I guess what I am realy asking is will I be able to see it over Howden as I have seen the Apache/Lynx team and Stearman team on there way up today.

Dont forget to visit Aeroventure, Fort Paull ( Beverley and Hunter) and Breighton while visiting our beautifull county.
Nice work on the cockpit.

Apache and lynx, Stearman team heading north to Sunderland.
Three Tornados in a vic high up heading south.

Merlins around here the last few days wich is unusuall and ISS wich is very unusuall.
I have only been to RIAT once about 6/7 years ago. It is a good place to see the `big stuff`, B52, B1 B ect. but was not worth queing all day on the Sat (not getting in) and Sun morning. There was nothing there I had not seen at Mildenhall wich was much cheaper and a far better show. Probably the best show I have ever been to.
what do we think is the best show now from an enthusiasts point of view (not including Legends) ?
I agree, I dont want to stop this thread. Like you say the last thread had some great pics. Lets have some more here.
I dont want this to be one of those posts… we have a search… use the search.. blah blah..
But..:):)
