It’s alright for some. I still haven’t managed to see the Vulcan since it’s return to flight. Been u/s everytime I’ve gone to an airshow. Would’ve liked to have gone down to Farnborough today but had to work. I’ve got next week off – typical! Had to make do with a trip to Dunstable Downs in my lunch hour to watch some gliders. They’re not quite as impressive as the Vulcan – I want some NOISE!

Hi Chumpy,

Looks like APBE was the actual aircraft in the comp. G-INFO shows it registered from Auster to Associated Newspapers in 1957 and then shortly afterwards to an Edward Armitage Holt, so presumably he was the lucky winner. It’s still on the CAA register and airliners.net has a piccie of it from 2003.

Cheers.
