Couldn't hear them too noisy screaming my head off.
Sooty thought it was you that was researching the loss of vx770 i have to say i am in the not guilty camp he didnt look to be doing anything out of the ordinary and was very experienced

anyway this is what she looks like now
one of the best things is what i have found in the reserch i have had to do which has all gone to shape it correctly;
the nose leg is smaller
the airframe is very slightly shorter
the wing has elevators and airelons (pls for give the spelling)not elevons
the airbrakes are 'backwards' and has two at the bottom not one
and many many more diferances between VX770 and B1 vulcans
