JMC, It will be back next year. As for its future when the on/off/on....? Retirement of the Tranche 1s happens. If they don't RTP all of them, some may end up at Cosford

Re: Vulcan XH558 to leave Doncaster, possible ferry flight
Or More likely Avro and Handley Page (Remember them...) Were almost singing from the same design sheet and used the same supplier perhaps.cometguymk1 wrote: ↑Mon 21 Nov 2022, 10:52 amDo the Vulcan and Victor share a main wheel design? If so it shows a surprising amount of forethought by the RAF.

Re: Vulcan XH558 to leave Doncaster, possible ferry flight
Somewhat ironic that today Manchester was deemed to be the worst airport in the UK...
And smaller airports including one DSA have been deemed much better.....
I hope someone in Peel takes note.....

Re: Vulcan XH558 to leave Doncaster, possible ferry flight
West Lindsay District Council has plans for buying Scampton. It falls inside WLDC. The plan includes retention of the runway and setting up a museum, hotels etc. It doesn't mention bulldozing the entire site and building a sqillion shoebox houses on it. It remains to be seen if they will expand on t...

Re: UK Heritage Aviation Trust
Its all very good selling mygs and t shirts, although I doubt that raised a lot... But I don't recall GJD, Jet Art or anyone else doing sponsored walks to raise funds to buy airframes.
Nice try..

Re: UK Heritage Aviation Trust
Not before time. It amazes me how other groups and museums have sorted themselves and acquired, moved or disposed to others airframes since 2017. Even in the few years since then, SWAM, and Morayavia have appeared and done well. Jet Art and GJD have helped others in that time as well... Stick to spo...

So do you work for Hangar 51?
Can you say with confidence you know they haven't done anything other than an engine run.. As far as I know they are still the owners.

Sadly they are happy with an ex RAAF B.20 than either an ex RAF B.2 (now as rare as.....) or the B(I).8
Still at least it will go on display in NZ.

Re: ZA718 Bravo November.
Not sure what you can stick in the rumoured Falklands aircraft display in Hangar 1. As the Vulcan and Victor are firmly stuck in the Cold War building As for BN, yes it has been on the cards for a longtime Mike, although the press release now says acquired.... I think basically that all the MoD airf...
