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. Heather "Mike M" wrote in message ... What a fantastic series of photos!

QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS
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. Arturo Joan Archer wrote: They were some good shots, that black and white one reminded me of a moth flying about g Joan "Arturo Seis" wrote in message ...

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.

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. -- Mike M Arturo Seis wrote: I expect they figured (or Figged?) that would be virtually it's last outing.

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.

happened and that nuclear bomber was recalled and finally got to drop some ordinance - just the conventional kind - on Port Stanley, 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? Arch |
