Let’s hope it finds it’s way into a museum 🙂
I thought it was build by Gate Guards UK?
Edit: nevermind 🙂
Thanks for the pictures!
So those are 4 seperate crashes?
Can a Vulcan be broken down for transport (especially if it’s not going to fly again)?
Only done once I think:

It just isn’t gonna fly. It would take lots and lots of money. The original manufacturer doesn’t want to support the type (airframe and engines). And the CAA will never allow it either. 558 was a one off deal. It’s not the USA unfortunately. There’s a huge gap between a live taxi-able airframe, and an airworthy one.
Just by accident came across a picture of her. Seems she is now saved by the Cornwall Aircraft Heritage Centre 🙂
They were still building Buchons in ’59? never knew that.
Is that Stuka the working replica they made years ago? If so, shame it doesn’t taxi any more. Cool display though!
This FB fear reminds my of some of the oldtimers fear of the internet in the mid-90’s. Why use the internet if we can still communicate in Morse code? LOL
Another parts recovery?
Yup, old storage facility of the Belgian AF museum. Aircraft are being transferred to a new location. Thought they were all gone, apparently not..
If it’s ex-US WWII, maybe Bottisham airfield museum could use it?

Looks to be in good shape despite it’s years outside. Good to see!
I Agree with Cees:

“The Museum has been offered donation of the dis-assembled remains of a former British built Avro B2 Lincoln former RAF RF342 to be used as the basis of restoration and display as an RAAF GAF Lincoln Bomber and is seeking cash donations or parts to assist in the eventual restoration and display of the aircraft, to become one of four remaining world wide, and the only one in Australia, along side the other rare and restored Australian Made aircraft already in the museum’s collection.”
