Hi Arfur,

How goes? Shame about Fairford being cancelled. Did you by an
chance get to Waddington on the 8th and get to see XH558 flying?

Oh, and the answer to your question is yes since you yourself have
just asked a question in all caps. :-)

Default QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

It is a beautiful plane. I remember when it came to Toronto in 1982
with a slightly lecherous member of the military looking for young
chicks, lol. I told him E. was off limits!!

I ran the Cdn. International Air Show that year and E. was my secretary.
What a blast that was!! Art Scholl doing his fabulous stunt
flying.....our gorgeous Snowbirds.....sigh.

Yes, indeed. They've done an exceptional job!

The Hendon Vulcan ought to be easy enough to restore, next! I seem to recall
it was flying up until it was dismantled and taken there, then reassembled
in it's current position. Wonder why the CAA won't allow any Lightnings to
fly again - the one at Bruntingthorp ought to be capable of being made
airworthy without too much effort.

The 2nd black and white one, yes? That never occured to me, but now that you
mention it...it's almost eerie.

I expect they figured (or Figged?) that would be virtually it's last outing.
They were mothballing them - then in '83 the Falklands happened and that
nuclear bomber was recalled and finally got to drop some ordinance - just
the conventional kind - on Port Stanley, refuelled by several of that other
outstanding nuclear bomber which by then was solely a tanker, of which like
the Vulcan until a few months ago, there are none flying today (but like the
Bruntingthorp Lightning there is at least one doing take off rolls) the
Handley Page Victor: http://www.skomer.u-net.com/thunder/victor.jpg

Amazing story. And thanks again Mike for sending me the vid! Think I'll
watch it again.

Default QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

I never really liked the Victor but that picture makes it look good.

BTW I have had sitting here for ages another disk of videos, not Vulcan
but rather various other UK post WWII aircraft including two my Dad worked
on - the Gannet and the Airco 121 (cannot remember if the number was 121)
later DH121 then HS121 better known as Trident. I even managed to find on
YouTube a clip of another he worked on during the 50s, the Rotadyne,
including shots of a demo it made of moving a bridge where I was standing
close to the film crew.

Yes. But it certainly was a performer, I believe it could do everything the
Vulcan could do - except, perhaps, the fly-like-a-fighter bit.

Isn't it ironic that of the three, the one that barely lasted two minutes
was the one made by the company that actually still has a product in service
today? I mean, apart from the fact A.V. Roe do have one Vulcan and one
Lancaster still wowing the show attendees? Those VC10s are a joy to see
going over every day! And hear.

You'd have thought - what with all the hiking and the maps that requires -
that I'd have learnt the word 'ordnance' by now, wouldn't you?
