XM594 is on loan with NAM – always has been. My understanding is that the owner became worried about potential inheritance tax liabilities if the Blackpool Vulcan ‘multi-million’ deal went through and thereby established a ‘valuation precedence’. 😮

It’s not a new occurrence – it happened around the time of the Blackpool Vulcan ‘bidding frenzy’ – XM594 was listed by the then owner and it was pulled as it was deemed a ‘weapon’.

However sometimes people get away with such listings – come and sell it at an Aeroboot! I’ll try and get it viewable for a month beforehand as well!! 😀

We’ll have to agree to differ then!!

BN, Yes, thats the one, what a fantastic aircraft she is, I am pleased that some thought has been given for her to perhaps she ends her days at Hendon.
I.M.H.O I think she should be retired NOW, it would be just her luck to be shot down and totalled when just a few days away from retirement.
I don’t suppose the M..O.D would even consider that though, or would they, could they ?. It would be interesting to know. I think all M.P.s should be given the other half of a brain cell to keep the half they have,company:D they may have the common sense to save her now if approached.

WADR I believe the need for serviceable helicopters ‘in theatre’ outweighs any preservation requirements!

Lot’s of Canberra related items expected here in May! 😉

Any cockpits want to visit?

Don’t miss the 10 Squadron ‘bird’ on the link – or my current avatar! 😉

…. Pity really as I can’t think of a better venue to hold an aerojumble (alongside Newark)…..

Thank you! 😀 Also Andy I think that we may need some more of your fliers!!

As prompted by XV806 …..

Welcome news – let the bidding commence! 😀

Hopefully as set out on this page! :confused:
