Re: Final flights XH558
By fuelling prior to the 'surprise' final flight it negates a further clue as to when the flight goes, limits time in the 'open' for the locals to pass-on intel' & severely cuts the time available for the number of people that can respond & attend! Wouldn't surprise me if they crew-in & do half the...

Re: Final flights XH558
I read about week ago somewhere that there was a gathering VIP's for XH558 on Tuesday. It was not at Doncaster and thought at the time that without the aircraft it did not make much sense. A private event? Maybe the fast taxi run for the lottery winner, then its rumoured she is going to do the blad...

Re: Final flights XH558
I do wonder if VTTS are holding out in the hope that the BBMF Lancaster will be back up in the air in the next couple of weeks? It would be lovely to see the two Avro greats saying XH558's final goodbye in the air together. Especially if the two aircraft were together over Doncaster with the 558 br...

Re: possible October farewll tour announced in newsletter
Hi All I'm currently on hols in the Lakes, travelling back south in a few days time. This should give me the opportunity (weather permitting etc) to catch the Vulcan either 'up north' or 'down south'. Do we know yet which way around the north/south flights are on 10th/11th ? (I get the impression i...

Re: Vulcan wheels up approach
I thought the day at Coventry was really good. Nice to be amongst so many like minded supporters, good decision to hold it at Coventry as central to Uk and CAF did a great job. I liked the signing opportunities, talks and the food was good for a buffet. All finished off with the great news that the ...

Re: Vulcan wheels up approach
I was at the members event on Sunday, so pleased that she was fixed and could attend. I agree the display was rather tame compared to others, but maybe this was down to recent service issues and not wishing to push their luck ? Shame the weather was overcast for pics
