That’s superb news! How did you find out?
Checking the TVOC website, its really slow but nothing on there yet.
When I attended to my first Airshow ever, at Yeovilton, the Vulcan was still in service…:rolleyes:
Taking off just above me, those wide wings literally obscured the sky!
I recall I took a Kodak Instamatic photo, of a 3/4 sight of the fuselage…:eek:
:w00t:
Contacts dear man It did its first nose up taxi run yesterday. Slow as everyone is hitting it hard I expect looking for info! I guess they are all in the bar getting smashed after all that hard work before worrying about updating the website
Glad its back up…
Nostalgia setting in
Throw back to when I was a kid in Welton and Lincoln, watching the Vulcans flying overhead from Scampton and Waddington, and holding onto the best china during a ‘scramble’ when the whole City shook,sign, happy times:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I used to live just down the road from Bruntingthorpe. What a lovely day for it, I wish I was there.
the Vulcan was still in service…
The Vulcan was still in service in 1984. Surely you went to an airshow before then
Excellent news. Hope to see it at Duxford before too long then.:w00t:

I fly to Bruntingthorpe pretty regular… I live a couple of miles away.
Always worth a visit, quite a few aircraft there now!

Sweet! The Vulcan is up and running! I think the Vulcan is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful jet bombers, just look at those huge delta shaped wings!!!
Lets hope it lives another 33 years!
Wont keep you waiting any longer
