They are going to rebuild their Sea Vixen and fly it thats cool.
No they are not don’t take any notice of Joe King he is a ****ing ****.
The Sea Vixen at Newark will however go in their new hanger.
As for any plan for moving her to Duxford what exactly would that achieve? I cannot believe the team that restored the Vulcan already there would be too chuffed at the idea
Have to agree with this the Duxford Vulcan (XJ824) is one of only 2 Vulcan’s kept inside yet if they get 558 they would most likely scrap 824 and this is one of the best Vulcan’s around.
If it goes anywhere I suggest Yorkshire Air Museum if they try to get rid of 824 at Duxford we should all contact them and send letters/e-mails and make it clear we do not want them to scrap a good Vulcan.
Yes well said they should also get the Vulcan and Commet inside before they rot away.
To be honest I cannot see the point of sending 603 to Manchester.
Yorkshire air museum would be a better place for it however is it possible to dismantle a Vulcan and then rebuild and run it it would be a shame if moving 603 meant it was no longer able to run.
Grantley-effing-Adams Airport
Why the hell they are sending one their is beond me as is the one going on a barge in the Hudson river..
Maybe BA want rid of them so are sending them as far away as possible.
This site has come back again was offline for a few months but dont send any cash it looks like a con and the top pic was nicked from the Xm655 pages and the bottom one from T+L
No Lancman it would be very nice to see them taxing.
Ok its not the same as flying no where near in fact but if its taxing or sitting gathering dust I know what I prefer.
Hi andyxh558
They have been trying to get 603 for a while hope they do as it seems BAE don’t care what happens to it.
In the early 90s they were helping out the 603 club alot and their was talk that it might fly again then they lost all interest and health and safety had a field day about it being full of fuel.
Well now it just sites their rotting and thats a big shame.
Hi
Hope you can save it their’s gonna be a few less around in a few years so it would be nice if this one was kept.
Hi
No chance of getting a hanger at Wellsbourne then. Whats up with that engine anyway ?
How long can it last without a hanger ?
Would it be able to fly to Kemble a someone on another forum claimed it would fall to bits if they ever try and fly it.
Hi
Are they going to run the engines on XM655 this winter or wil they wait until the next taxi run ?
Hi Vulcan903
Why do you think that XL360 and Xm655 will be gone soon they are among the better examples.
Does look a bit packed but its better than any of them being outside.
It looks like its going the same way as the Blackpool Vulcan 🙁
In 20 years we will not have many Vulcans left unless peole do something soon.
