I fear this is morphing into one of life's
little mysteries, and we will NEVER know
anything about this "event", even if there
IS one.......

Not holding my breath, in other words......

OK, There IS something that is going to happen with the aircraft, but,


BELIEVE ME


There is no way that ANYONE should say what it is. If you really do know what it is, you'll know why I can't say anything.
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

It's rumoured that as much weight has been stripped out of it in order another 747 will land at Bruntie and used as a tug to town this one into thre air using a cable.

It will be released somwhere over the north sea where the two Lightnings from bruntie will interecept her and shoot her down.

It's part of a new Asda campaign to do with "Roll back the years" hence the use of vintage aircraft.
