Vulcan Restoration Trust at Southend held an engine run for their members at no cost yesterday - what a wonderful gesture and what a wonderful hard working group they are! Thanks guys.
how wonderful it was to hear the sound of 4 olympus engines at high power for the first time in ages!
some pics, unfortunately towards the sun so not ideal.......

Pleased you enjoyed your time with us on Saturday, Andy. Your compliments are appreciated by everyone who works to keep XL426 live and running.
Some film of the engine run is on our Facebook page at:

We're planning some more live events with XL426 for our members this year and next, so if you'd like to be involved, please think about joining us. It's only £25 (or £32 for a family membership) which we think is great value. You also get two copies of our magazine, Vulcan News, each year and free entry to our Visit the Vulcan Days, the next one of which is this Sunday, 16 June.
You can join on-line at our website: https://www.avrovulcan.com
Here endeth the plug!
