Mark12 – Thats the TF.1. Its the wingless TF.2 thats seems to be elusive (apart from the pic you supplied for the newspaper article).

Roborough – That does sound familiar. I’ll check through and get back on that one.

Indeed. Wood, then Ally, and now Concrete. Whats next… Lead? 🙂

Now that to me is impressive… and refreshingly different!

Nice photo Mark. Do you have any others of the Python powered TF.2 Wyvern.. apart from the one viewed from the starboard rear?

Thanks. The TF.1 identity has already been pretty much nailed down. Its the pictured TF.2 that has me scratching my head, as none of them are noted as ending their days at Gosport. My hunch is its either VW871 or VW878 (although both are logged as apparently ending their days elsewhere!)

Maybe, just maybe the return of Mildenhall Air Fete next year. So i guess the planning would start this year… if it gets the nod.
Them there burgers and buds are much missed by yours truly! 🙂

Sorry i can’t help with the cheapest, but i can with most impressive (and quite possibly most expensive).

Tony Buttler’s Sea Vixen book contains a number of Aircrew testimonies on Vulcan intercepts, including the following by Cdr Peter Buckley as an example:

“The most difficult aircraft to mix it with was, surprisingly, the Vulcan. With its huge delta wing it could out-turn almost anything – particularly at height. If your intercept wasn’t correct the first time and the Vulcan turned towards you, he would be on your tail within seconds.One would then be humiliated by the sound of the Vulcan pilot transmitting “dagga dagga dagga dagga” simulated gunfire in your earphones!” (p. 150).

I can just imagine that and the Vulcan crews broad grin… brilliant!!! 🙂
