[Bovril]

if anyone seriously wants one i will get some ordered.. lets see how many want one and i'll take it from there

Id like one Roger

I reckon you need a real photo, Bovril. It's a fantastic idea and great image, but the cockpit glass doesn't look quite right and the TFR pod is missing.

And yes, I'd buy one!

Well we will be at Wellesbourne on sunday (unusual i know)

the airfield is having an open day

from their website :

"Wellesbourne Airfield will be holding an open day on Sunday 10th May from 10:00am until 16:00. The Vulcan will be open as well as the Museum. The Control Tower will be open for escorted tours and the Fire Vehicles will be on show. Pleasure Flights will be available with Avon Air Centre and Heli Air. This is an informal event with no extra aircraft or flying displays and is aimed at allowing local residents a behind the scenes look at their local airfield."

so if you want to see inside a vulcan for yourself and have some change for a donation we will be pleased to see you and show you around

Shes looking good today


















Suprise suprise it started to cloud up when i arrived

[Mackrick]

Nice photos many thanks for posting them

[Saracenman]

you're right Cluny - she's looking fab!

i think it's incredible that Bovril & Co have managed to keep her looking SO good, and very much alive - and yet she's been stood outside at Wellesbourne for 25 years!

well done chaps!

Yep - looks fabulous: thanks for posting, Cluny!

No doubt that '655 is the most photogenic of the remaining Vulcans, just a beautifully preserved aircraft.

Gotta agree that she looks absolutely in pristine condition... no colour fading, weather streaks or bird poo . Well done to Bovril and the gang on preserving this beauty resplendantly

[Mayfly]

I'm not sure what it is but shes the most photogenic aircraft - I never get a poor pic of her

thanks for photies Cluny

[Bovril]

she is in need of some new paint , lets hope for a good summer and some dry weekends and we can get a fresh coat on her

[Dougs]

i have always thought that she looks 'ready for take off' much more so even than 558 i think that the paint job is the thing that makes her look so good take 607 for instance all busted up but looks great!

Hi Cluny.

No real timetable, dependent on the weather aswell so you might be lucky.
