You’re right it’s not happening

It won't look better than brand new now will it or have you got wings and engines for it now along with the thousands of other parts required to make it look like BRAND NEW

Good evening Will I am an ex RAF painter and finisher and my good friend Paul was a SNCO that ran the paint shop at Colt and he has got some great pictures from his time in charge there.Are you continuing to use it as a paint shop?

The Hawks you refer to where from Tatty Ton.They bashed the circuit a few times and returned to Leeming.

Both aircraft are based at Gamston,which is near to your sighting.

There's a very interesting story regarding the support vehicle and it's usage,one of many that has come to light

Once Bae had vacated the facility at Scampton which incidentally was built on 617's Vulcan dispersal a CWP from Shorts moved in conducting mods on the newly acquired Tucano which was replacing the JP fleet. Interesting to note is 205 (Tucano) only has it's CFS crests applied and not any chevrons!! T...

So what really happened then and I see Hunterxf382 has gone quiet. The reason I ask is that there is always two sides and it seems he has nothing to reply with?

What assistance did you provide?

Sorry to disappoint you guys,but there will be no ammendments to the current paint scheme.

As a K1 she was based at Waddington,previously with 27 at Scampton equipped as an MRR

Kurt,your information isn't totally true,so try and get it right before posting please.Was you airside yesterday,if so maybe you could PM as to who you was with please?

No cloak and dagger for me...the paint work on the airframes is being done at Cranwell!!

Scamptons runway isn't "fit for purpose" for Waddingtons tractors to "Bolthole" there or for the Vulcan to utilise it at present.Plus the dispersals and northern taxiways are unuseable.

Great pictures Terry,as always...especially the one of 11's shed being prepared for it's new roof!!

617 Sqn "hangar"

XX177 is in the paint shop as I type,and it''ll be placed outside of SHQ at Scampton.

My thoughts too Lee,lol.

Indeed the floors are being repainted.

Who told you that she wouldn't be flying next year??
