Rita, Thanks for correcting my duff info re the Vulcan, but I had this vague recollection of a Tannoy announcement when it did a flypast at Kemble saying it had come from Bristol,............ its the brain going again

Thanks Rita,  the one at Southend now has a license ( or whatever it's called ) for '' fast ground taxi '' , and I saw a while back that the owners are trying to raise funds to get it airworthy ........that'd be great  :D

It would be great Terry but it literally does cost MILLIONS of pounds to make them air worthy and then many more to keep them flying after that. I LOVE the Vucan but I do question such huge ammounts of money when it is obviously inevitable that one day the money really will run out.  :-\

PS Jeff has just arrived home as I sent the last post Terry and he says that they think the flying Vulcan will be grounded at the end of this season.  :'(
Hi Dottie, Do hope you will be able to make the show, let us know nearer to the day.  :)

Hi Dottie, sorry for the delayed reply but we made the most of the great weather by having a couple of days in good old "Skeggie". Yes, you can pay on the day (which is possibly the most sensible thing given our weather this year) Jeff thinks it is £15, not cheap, I know, but a tremendous day out.  :)

Hi Dottie, just a little addition to my previous information, if you, or anyone else, intends to come to the show to see the Vulcan display then please note that it is on the Sunday only.  :)
