Hello Mate..
I think the whole plot started going wrong over the last few years.. similar in many ways to 558 but without the support leaving them going backwards rather than forwards

If 426 is the Southend Vulcan, then he's in 'deep maintenance' and will be back live before too long.

More work in the background I believe, to secure the airframe for the future. Though the 3 3/4 engines were run last December
