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 :worried:

More work in the background I believe, to secure the airframe for the future. Though the 3 3/4 engines were run last December 8) see http://www.avrovulcan.com/index.php?opt ... &Itemid=21
