It's been described as' barbaric vandalism ' the MOD have decided to smash-up aircraft that have cost them 200 million. It's no wonder that they keep putting up the price of fuel - when they keep wasting money like this !!! - Film of smashed aircraft - JUST HERE

Speedbird, Any idea where the old girl is going to be based after 2011 when the runway losses it's licence? It'll be strange not to see it in the hanger on C site, sort of got used to it now.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

For anybody who might be interested there is a TV programme on Sunday evening (BBC1 at 7.00pm) featuring the Vulcan.
Veteran reporter John Sergeant takes to the skies in a chase aircraft - following the Vulcan. The take-off is from the Robin Hood airport Doncaster.

I know there are a few Fronty owners who like the Vulcan , there was a good article in the Sunday Express last week, about the use of the Vulcan in the Falklands Campaign.
Here are some of the things that they hope 558 will be involved in this year - as follows,
1 - the official unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in June,
2 - It will take part in the official unveiling of the Falklands memorial at the National Arboretum in May.
3 - And also a fly-over to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee.
The full story is -Just Here

And as a continuation, the book Vulcan 607 which describes the whole Falklands bombing raid, is an amazing read.

Did you see the story on ch4 last week about the Vulcan raid on Port Stanley?
I was brilliant, you couldnt write that stuff.
It was called Falklands most daring raids.
Here is the 4OD link

Slightly off topic but seems they have found up to 20 new crated Spitfires in Burma

Lets hope there is a follow up. I do love the older aircraft.

I was lucky enough to be working on a farm yesterday right next to raf Waddington and the Vulcan was doing a show off display, short landings n takeoffs. It was awesome to watch close up
