A tad worried about this great aircraft. Would not the new owner ensure the aircraft undergoes currency flight, crew refreshers etc, expenced by of the course the owner?
I hear, Foxy is sat on the grass at Hurn these days, with a canopy cover over her.
Would not the new owner be marketing the aircraft to display organiszers – well she is one of a kind?
Be activley encourgaing aviation chaps like us to part with a few hard earned pounds a months to help maintain the aircraft
???????

You might change your mind if you see it close up. It’s an ex BDR a/c.

OK – I’ll have the MIG 23 as a 2nd choice!

I hope so too, its my dads birthday too and Im hoping to take him up there for it.

Bex – I would take him to Kemble on that Sunday. I really would if I was you.

The Vulcan should be airworthy in time, though we have to think about if 558 gets the relevant permissions to fly over a built up area in time.

The ‘single-engined aircraft’ card has been played before to stop the Sea Harrier / Harrier flying over London…

…never seems to stop the Red Arrows though in their single-engined Hawks.

I bet the MOD use The Reds.

So,

The Vulcan will be there, the GR3’s can be represented by the GR7….. but are there any plans to get an Sea Harrier up and running for the flypast?

I understand that there are still a few in an ‘active’ state.

Thanks

Hmmm…… Single engined aircraft (Harriers) overflying a high population area. Hmmm we’ll see.

I might try and contact them would love to know their plans for her and such

I think there plans are to keep her looking nice for a long as her legs can take it or the airfield wants it off.
Good luck tracking them down and let us know how you get on.

Now having spent the time painting 607, I have just had a mail from another forum informing me that black buck Vulcans had black undersides, I dont recall ever seeing any pictures off this, or reading any mention of this, as you can imagine it would be a quite monumental c*@k up on my part. Looks to me as a darker grey rather than black or was black the case on later missions?
Can anyone tell me one way or the other or are you all just to polite to tell me I’m a dipstick.

Thanks to Damien for pointing out one or two other technical points which I am correcting, good to have a fresh pair of eyes look at these things

I think the undersides were Matt Dark Sea Grey BS381C-638
