RE: Vulcan XL391 pics 2001
Peter,
I’d heard the asking price was around £10.000, which considering 391’s condition is a joke. The cost and logistics involved in getting her into any kind of safe display condition would be huge. Unless somebody acts quickly she’s going to have to be scrapped, I just hope the nose comes up for offer if this is the case, and more importantly I get to hear about it as it might be more in my price range !!!
I’ve added one more picture that shows (If you look carefully) a bit of yellow graffiti that now adorns both wings.
Regards Plazz

RE: Vulcan XL391 pics 2001
I last visited XL391 in Feb 2002, and its true shes not long for this world. I heard a rumour that 391 was bought recently by some multi millionare who plans to move her down south and restore her, this came from someone I’ve been in contact with who tried to buy her, I expressed an interest in buying her myself but the price ask for her was just silly.
The pics were taken on a very windy day in Feb 02, in one picture you can see a piece of skin hanging from under the left wing, on the next pic notice the same skin had ripped off and fell on the ground such was the high winds, I witnessed this and felt helpless. I only hope the rumour that I’ve heard has some truth although I find it hard to belive she can be moved at all in her preasent condition. Also she does have grafitti over the wings in yellow spay paint, but I couldn’t elevate myself to read it, probably some mindless dribble anyway.
