I fart in the general direction of your criticisms. The fund raising will continue throught the year so that the over-optimistic begging bowl is less likely to poke its head out of the gutter at the end of the year. VTTS are getting better at managing the situation, if you think otherwise, if you think ‘how hard can it be?’
You do it.
Probably something along the lines of to what to do with it once its parked up. I can imagine it would cause the airport a few issues while its being decommissioned/tugged over to the aeropark. To the best of my knowledge i don’t think there is even a pad set up for it yet. I haven’t been up for a few weeks.
(Im not avoiding you all, i just haven’t got a bean since being slapped with a £990 repair bill for my bike. Hence no submission of an application form)
Would the Walton family want the Vulcan back at Bruntingthorpe? Have they been asked?
Thats a good question. Im sure im not the only one pondering whether or not 558 will be returned to brunters. Hopefully she’ll be put somewhere where she’ll live out her days as a ground runner
It was flown there under a military serial by a BAE test pilot, at a time when XS904 was still being used for (radar trials?) by BAE systems. Theres an interesting video about it on planestv.com
Even if the colour is wrong it wont take long for the elements to dull it down to the hemp kind of colour again. Personally I think she looks stunning. And i think the guys who painted her deserve a round of applause.
I think Hurn hit the nail on the head. I was referring to the Cold war jets day on the 30th. It seems strange that VTTS are advertising this years event on their website. I would be willing to bet a large ammount that the ‘vulcan village’ will be there.
It has yet to make the full weekend though. This year she has everything stacked against her. Funding, serviceability, and the most recent disruption we’ve all been hearing about lately, volcanic ash.
