great photos lads. That one of the moment of takeoff sure brings a lump to the throat.
just landed. Been watching Sky News with the ‘live’ sub-titling, and when they mentioned the Vulcan just before the 1 o’clock started, it came up as ‘legendary RAF Balkan bomber’!! Obviously the word ‘vulcan’ isn’t in the computers vocabulary. LOL
the Vulcams and this forum went down for me at about 12.20. Managed to catch it on Sky News…..so only now can I say it. SHE FLIES !!!
(yep, pity about the poor reporting on Sky News-XH885 indeed!!).
….nothing on Sky News as yet……….
yes indeed, good luck to everyone involved. I can’t wait to see that baby lift off again.
W H O A !!!! Just seen Sky News at 7.45am, and they have done a piece ‘live’ from the hangar, and the end of it was ‘join us at 11.30 ‘live’ for the first flight.’!!! Now, this obviously could be wishful thinking on their part, but it’s obviously REAL close to first flight now!! And yes,…….I’ll be tuned in at 11.30!!
Did I just see a piece on Sky News at about 7.15am?? Out of the corner of my eye I caught a shot of the Vulcan, but by the time I got to the volume control they had moved on to something else. At least Sky are giving it some air time!!
‘and is there really going to be any ‘major sponsor’ prepared to pay ?millions of pounds to be associated with an aircraft whose one and only purpose was to deliver weapons of mass destruction?????!!!’
Well, I would !
brilliant way to make funds!!
I was at Brands Hatch yesterday racing my car, and at about 3pm, heading south (I think), we saw a B17 fly overhead, was it flying back from Biggin?
I’m sorry Moggy, but I don’t know what NOTAM stands for. Can you enlighten me?
I didn’t know he was a pilot!
Really??
‘It is easy to mock these Spitfire rumours. I have followed a number up over the years with some success.’
See post number 5.
Not long now then. I, for one, can’t bluddy wait!
……was in Tesco’s this morning and a guy walked past me wearing a VTST t-shirt!! I said to him ‘Not long now, then?’ and he replied he couldn’t wait for her to fly again. My sentiments exactly.
