Well that could it explain it then!

Peter,

As Kev35 has already mentioned, the new building separates the Valiant from the Vulcan and Victor so unless someone is willing to sanction a lot of concrete laying around the front and side of the new building I don’t think it is possible. It certainly looked to me during my visit that there’s no way of getting them all together outside for a photo shoot without some additional work being required.
A huge missed opportunity if you ask me, as I’m sure many enthusiasts would have queued up with wallets in hand to photograph a trio of V-Bombers. I know I would have!

Does anyone know exactly when a Vulcan, Victor and Valiant were last seen altogether?

I too was told during my visit today (unofficially of course) about the disposal of the BA collection. I hope it is just someone’s idea of testing the water to see what the reaction will be. I’m not a big fan of civil aircraft, but it’s a collection worthy of saving, especially the Rolls Royce powered 707.

I hope no one objects if I add a couple of my own photos taken at Cosford today?
Weather conditions weren’t great for photography but it was my first visit to the museum since 1997, I just had to see the Valiant outside before it gets shoehorned in to the new display hall. I think judging by the incomplete state of the new structure the Valiant will be outside for many months to come so enjoy it why you can!

Excellent news. Something new to add to this thread after all 🙂
