    there are pics online of her being pummeled to death by a JCB

    Ahhh JCB ! The weapon of choice for most Vulcan destroyers and now the owner of it’s birthplace !

    Thank you for your replies.
    No the one I was meaning was around 1985/86 and was complete (or at least looked it from the road) So it must have been XH563. Unless XL384 also stood in that place in complete condition for a period of time. But from driving by in the car, I recall only seeing the one standing there.

    It was 563 you saw,i have a bad picture somewhere of her with the damn fence in the way ! The fire dump only had a wooden fence to hide it,hence the good piccy of it !

    Some pictures i have seen on the National Trust site show it with rudder and air brakes so i guess they are to be fitted.

    Fantastic colour scheme,again another aircraft we never really appreciated when in service.If we knew then that most of the airliners at airports today would be twin engined clones of various sizes then i think we would have taken more notice,photo’s ect and enjoyed the noise and smoke more !

    I think i have an under-exposed picture of the Argosy,is it the one that tail booms snapped ? I also have pics of a very dead Red Arrow Hawk
