I am guessing that you might meant “what plans” there are for the Vulcan at Cosford? I do typos all the time!!:)
I had heard a few months ago that plans were in place to put many of the treasures stored outside undercover at Cosford and that a repaint might be in the Vulcan’s future! part of their rolling paint program…
Another picture..taken looking back towards the tail again..this time from alittle further back..towards the joining on the centre section;
I was also wondering just how much of the plane is original now? but a decision had to be made with regards to this particular airframe and they are sticking to it..It is a rare aircraft yes but it is not significant in it’s identity..it is not the first of it’s kind like Mosquito W4050 or the first to drop the A bomb like B-29 Enola Gay. They are being very careful to follow all the blueprints and be as true to the original as possible and the level of detail is quite amazing!
Can’t wait to see her completed!!
Another picture of the tail:
It would be nice to see one of the engines restored to ground running condition but this will never happen. Those engines spend a little too much time in the water. They can turn over and if electrics are applied they will turn on the starter but RCAF museum do not want to risk having one come apart or self destruct. Too much would be lost. One of the staff told me all they need is this plane to accidentally catch fire and opps..
The museum is now waiting on funding from the Federal Government to help in building the expansion to house the Halifax
You really get a idea of how big this plane is now and this is before the wings tips are installed!!
Here a few more pix::)
Outer port engine installed:
