cripes
if you were the taliban and you heard that,it would probably too late,it'd have already dropped it's pay load.
nice sound though.

a pay load of bibles would work better than explosives

yeah,it'd keep them warm during the winter months,using them as fuel for their campfires.

that's a point they might not be able to reed English

Please refrain from religious comments

It amazes me at the relatively short take off run it has for such a large craft, shows those engines kicking power, my daughter slept through the Vulcan low level fly past last year

[Dupe]

sorry drift forgot this was a pc forum

I've seen jets take off from RAF linton on ouse.when they take off and climb vertical,though i've never seen a craft as large as that take off and climb, and the sound..fantastic.

Nice one SpeedBird
Thanks for posting it

[SPEEDBIRD 202]

Not only does it cost us a few bob to keep our Fronty's on the road, it costs a hefty amount to keep the Vulcan airworthy.

Just here for The Vulcans Running Costs

I hope they succeed for 2010

[Roo]

Yeah Me To hope they succeed in getting the Money to keep those things flying

[SPEEDBIRD 202]

BREAKING NEWS !!

it looks like the Vulcan is going to be around for a bit longer, and they are going to be able to keep it in the air for a while longer

So it should mean that this is not going to happen to it just yet ...



The Vulcan team have managed to secure funding for their project - Some anonymous person has donated £458,000!!!!! WOW -

It means that it is able to display at some of the airshows this year, if you haven't seen it yet its worth a look - see it while you can [ I know you have - eh Drift ]

[Hound Dog]

It will nice to see it again at Farnborough international Airshow this year

Hi there Houndog

yeah I was lucky enough to see it there 2 years ago, hope I get to see it again this year

By chance I managed to take this picture when there was no other aircraft around. It made me realize how bumpy the Farnborough runway is

If you are bored with the usual Haynes Workshop Manuals or like me you are unable to obtain one for your particular Fronty

Then maybe it's time to move on to a different type of Workshop Manual one like this
