absolutely and a Canberra as well plus few others, sometimes the aircraft are open and you are allowed into the cockpits, the Vulcan is very cramped, especially the AEOp/Nav area, all facing rearwards and NO ejector seats. http://www.aeropark.org/ |

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I think that one's quite common - there is a good story of a driver flying in to the airport next door to Dony, putting "Donnington" in his sat nav and ending up some distance away before realising his error |

I know it's only a static display but surely a quid a visit dosn't even cover staff costs let alone the upkep of the aircraft. |
