Hi Kodak,
While a few of the forumites above impress themesleves to death, and fail to actually achieve anything, I suggest you take your perfectly reasonable suggestion to Cosford directly. It’s unlikely to be looked apon favouribly, but stranger things have happened.
They’ll have a lot on, a tight schedule already planned down to detail, and no great interest in taking it on board – so I suggest you point out that you’ll post their reply on a ‘well known’ historic aviation forum.
It’s perfectly common for a press photocall to be set up with museum aircraft – they will want publicity for the project. Sadly the timing and public interest element of “All three V bombers together again” is small, but as I’ve said, if you don’t ask you’ll don’t get.
After all, England’s chances at the Ashes on 21st July were 12/1 against – ‘Rank outsiders’ and came into this test as 4/7 favourites! 😀

JDK & kev35 (mainly) thanks for some positivity and rational replies!, Christ, you post about something directly relating to preservation of great British aeroplanes and get shot down big time.
:confused:
I have emailed Cosford, but I dont know how much clout you get by going through the general email enquiry address. Could do with a number of us contacting some senior people, thats really why I tried here just in case there was someone “in the know”. All I find (as usual) are negative individuals who are too quick to go off on a tangent and have a go at each other… :rolleyes:
Agreed about the location of the vulcan & victor that damn great monstrsosity of a new building is in the way! You may be able to get all 3 lined up at the “top” but only having a quick walk round, didnt get much of a feel for the access etc. Again thats why i posted, hoping that anyone working or resident there would have a better feel for the place…
Just thought it would be a great opportunity, never to be repeated and why not try??
At the very least why should leaving the Valiant out a few days in the open be such a major problem ??
Dead stick – since we no longer have to pay for museum entry I presume that any revenue loss is being made via the governemnt, i.e. my tax so indirectly I’m funding this work.
