Monday was the rehearsal

It ain’t never gonna happen – it worries me that they would even imagine that it would be a possibility!

You’d think that in view of their location, they’d set their sights on something more appropriate – a Varsity or a Dominie perhaps? I wish!:p

Can’t find any images which would help I’m afraid but you’re assumptions are probably correct. Decal artists have a habit of guessing in the absence of factual evidence!

Great photos – especially the first colour shot – I assume that’s from a movie?

Ahh yes, watching Vulcans being dismantled is a grim business. XM652 ended her days in a Sheffield scrap yard. I went over to take a look and the whole aircraft was laid there in a crumpled heap, some guy hacking it to bits with a saw. I often wonder what happened to the engines as they were on a trolley all safely bagged-up, which suggests that they might have had some hours left on them. Pity they didn’t find their way to XH558, although I guess fitting them might have been tricky, given that they were 300 series engines.

It’s not that bad, is it? How far have you got to pop?

Half an hour or so. But it looks like it’s gonna be another weather scrub unless the forecast for Friday is as heroically inaccurate as usual!
