Re: Has anyone else heard this story and is it true or even possible?
There's a book called The Penetrators by Anthony Gray from 1966 about a loosely disguised Vulcan that flew over the White House on a simulated bombing run to prove a point to the yanks.

Subscribe to thread.
Afternoon,
This might be a daft question but, is there a 'subscribe to thread' option on here?
I reckon to have looked but can't seem to find one (nor a better section to post this).
Cheers.

Road running "apache's"
Just seen a post on autosh_ite.com of two Apaches on the M4/M40.
Not sure where exactly or which direction, any other sightings or where they were going to/from?

Re: Air Pollution
Volcanic ash has a lower melting point than sand. Ash is more likely to build up and glaze onto engine components. Sand is more abrasive but less prone to build up in engines.
