I'd just like to say that I think it's very appropriate
for her first "away" gig to be in front of your best
friends in the EU!!!!!!

The thing is, it isn't a simulator - it would just be nice to bomb the French.

Agreed Dee,

This was some show. The flying display started about 9:30 the static line was about 2 miles long and the air power thing was amazing, it was like being in the middle of a war (course I did have an exceptionally good seat

)

Oh plus some crazy brits took their 50 year old bomber over for a bit of a run out with the Dutch airforces finest

We all had a great time and it was such a great buzz.

Oh did I mention it was a free show, and the attendance was over 200,000. Just a way of the Dutch government showing how they spend the taxes, wonder if Gordon will take a leaf out of their book, once has has filled out his expenses.

Wowzers!!! :ymapplause:

That's amazing........... you can clearly see the skins that have been removed/replaced and the subsequent paint job.

Should be in next years photo book.

That's a nice pic, glad I went to all that effort polishing the top now!

Only thing is it needs doing again now.

With one of these in my back garden, I could LITERALLY do just that!
Or at least return all their 2CV's back to them. :))

Welcome Addy

Yes, Avro built both the lancaster and the Vulcan, XH558 is the last flying example and is in a funding crisis at the moment! She is cuerrently on the ground at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, England awaiting maintainance on various parts including one of her main undercarriage legs.

by **Dan4th** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 5:02 pm

Hello addy33!

If you stick around here you're likely to
learn more about the Vulcan than you
ever imagined!

There is a lot of information on here, plus
quite a few links that will point you toward
even more.

Ask any questions you want, and I know
that you will get good answers!
