    Cheers Baz.

    Going off thread slightly i wonder if this was the first instance of Vulcans landing on grass? Were they one off’s, or had it been performed before elsewhere?

    Were the Vulcans and other large aircraft actually flown in, as i assume Halton is / was a grass only airfield with no actual hard surface runway?!
    If so are there any photos or film of them coming in and landing?

    Nice photos Baz, spoilt only by that old Seat car that someone’s dumped in the layby :D.

    But seriously though i only went there once, on a secondary school trip around 1980. It was wall to wall Sea Vixens (i think crammed into a workshop type building), Gnats and JP’s as i recall in a hangar, and i’m sure i remember an Argosy or two as well… but sadly no pics i’m afraid. What goes on there now, if indeed anything?

    Fantastic!! Always good to see any vintage jets, especially navy types, get back into the air.

    As a ‘composite’ airframe / restoration though, i wonder what the chances are of such a thing returning to flight in the UK?!

    Excellent news, a genuine ex FAA Phantom :). And yes it would be nice if XT864 found a new home as well (in one piece).

    Hi Wyvernfan,
    Thanks for the URL.

    There are some very graphic images on the 5 web pages.

    Your welcome nJaym. And thanks to all for the comments.

    I didn’t look any further past this photo as it i think it says alot on its own.
    At the end of the day alot of people lost their lives through very tragic circumstances, and whether you agree with the decision or not i find it so poignant that such an insignificant item did or could of contributed to such a major disaster.

    RIP all.
