XM607 – It is my understanding that this example is receiving some t.l.c. and some external support for the work; I will try to seek formal confirmation about the extent of this work! 🙂

I never thought I’d end up supporting the French at rugby, but when it’s 16 against 15…………… :rolleyes:

According to my list he has a table at this event on October 29th – failing that he might be along in a while to give you an alternative means of contact! 😉

Re the Vulcan parts i.e. “….small, long triangular indentations that you can see in the rear section og the fuselage, under and aft of the rudder.” – I will ask our Vulcan ‘presenter’ the next time I see him! 🙂

I gather someone mentioned Shackleton WR977, which is definitely still at Newark Air Museum – well it was this morning when the school group was being shown round! 😀

WR977 had two spells at Avro’s Langar facility in southern Nottinghamshire.

It arrived there first in 1962 (with 1925.00 hours on the airframe) for its Phase 2 Mods, which took over a year to complete – it left on 9th April 1963.

Just over two years later WR977 left 201 Squadron on 13th July 1965 and headed back to Langar for its Phase 3 Mods, which weren’t completed until May 1966 – these included the addition of the Mk10 Lulu nuclear depth charge fit.

The above details were extracted from two books about WR977 – Duty Carried Out and Dedication to Duty – signed copies can still be obtained from the Museum Shop! 😉
