Bob: Yes, inconsistency if not double standards!

One reason why I lurk much and post little – heaven forbid that I should upset the mighty powers.

Good luck to you and Distiller in your luggage quest!

Yupiteru MVT 7100 which, sadly, is no longer manufactured. Best by a country mile.

Evilbay is your friend!

Mods: Perhaps the use and structure of the English language has changed since I left education but I for one would like to know how a subjective opinion may be deemed as advertising……

Might as well pull the thread then! Actually, by the same measure, the entire board may be deemed to be in breach of this arbitrary rule.

I fear that’s quite a likely outcome next season now the anonymous benefactors money has been spent. EN830. Certainly if the current shower of sh*t continue to hold the financial reins….

Let’s not forget that the money is contingent on donations, a fair old amount of which comes from outside of our own little community (enthusiasts in general, not just the board here). Of all the potential schemes out there, I’d guess that the Vulcan is almost unique in this regard. I can’t see any other ‘frames raising nearly so much interest from the paying public at large.

And so, I would fear, no more Vulcan – no more money.

Ah, CV990’s! I well remember these fine old girls flying in and out of MAN in the 70’s & 80’s trailing thick, black gouts of smoke from their CJ 805’s….

And that unique NOISE!!

Happy days indeed!

Tim,

A pleasure – I’ll post tomorrow A.M. Not sure if you can see the serial on the Shack though!

Ashley,

Please do keep us updated, would love to see the complete footage! Are individual scene shoot dates on the originals? That might narrow down who’s flying!

Well, I for one am very glad you survived the mishap (and others!) to share your wonderful memories with us all. Did the Shack go on to fly another day too?

I’ve recently been watching declassified footage from Grapple and would agree, VERY spectacular! Just need to transfer my old VHS stuff to a newer technology now – think it was a channel 4 prog – “Britain’s’ cold war super weapons”

There’s a super scene inside the cockpit of a Shack whilst on patrol with the drivers enjoying a nice cuppa – I wonder if she was yours?!

Frank
