I would like to advise that a Dragon Rapide will be at Wellesbourne Mountford on June 20th and taking passengers on 20 minute flights for 35 quid.
The aircraft will be attending the Vulcan XM655 Taxi demonstration which is also planned for 14.00hrs. There will also be helicopter flights for I think 25 quid.

The best way forward for museum Vulcs is to get the 201 end caps reproduced in GRF and get a job lot done. Though getting all the museums to commit to this would prove a task I think.
Or 558 will use 201 end caps up and TVOC could auction u/s ones to museums as 558 goes through them during its flight career.
Same action for the few 301 Vulcs but it will cost just as much really.

At the end of the day and after 20 years of static museums pieces, there are plenty of things a Vulc needs to maintain its cosmetic appearence for the next 20 years.

We are on a promise of 4 new 301 end caps for 655, and should be with us duringthe summer.

Many of the items are now in the Vulcan Cockpit section XM602 which is the one based at BAE Systems Woodford.

Not sure about Waddo, but XM607 has a new home on the base closer to the A15. There is a small team on site looking after her. Her end caps need replacing and hopefully later in the year the end caps from XM655 at Wellesbourne will be donated to XM607.
The cockpit inside is entirly gutted though, which is a shame.

When I popped in two years ago, the aircraft looked a lot worse than they do now. The photos show that they have been washed. When I was there, Crows were roosting in the NF18 engine cells.
