Big own goal scored at the weekend  . the Vulcan flew in Waddington for the airshow & was then duly grounded  Someone  didn't complete some structural inspection work on another airframe in time for the renewal of the permit to fly this requirement was known about at least a year ago. Don't know how they'll get corporate sponsorship with all the no-shows of last year & again this year  |

It seems (according to rumours only on PH) that they knew all along they were not certificated but were "pressed" to arrive at Waddy so that the Waddington display could "have" the Vulcan there as promised.
The PH aircraft section is throbbing with angry punters who have been stuck in lousy traffic jams both into and out of the station, only to learn that the Vulcan wouldnt display
I am sad to think that I may never get to see a Vulcan fly again
TVOC seem to have screwed up the whole operation
We will see
I'll be off to TVOC next to see what they have to say about the debaclé
Ah yes here it is
04 July 2009 - VTTS
The Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTST) and Marshall Aerospace are deeply disappointed and saddened to have to announce that the planned displays of the Vulcan at the RAF Waddington International Airshow on 4th and 5th July have had to be cancelled.
As part of the 2005-7 Major servicing, a number of structural inspections had to be deferred, because it was not feasible to complete them on XH558’s airframe. It was planned by VTST and Marshal Aerospace, in agreement with BAE Systems and the Civil Aviation Authority, that these inspections would be carried out before the renewal of XH558’s Permit to Fly on 3rd July 2009, using the airframe of BAE Systems-owned Vulcan XM603 at Woodford, as part of the scrapping process of this aircraft. Unfortunately, despite best intentions, it has not yet proved possible to complete or establish mitigations for all these inspections. Consequently, we have currently not fully met the conditions that would enable the issue of XH558’s Permit to Fly renewal.
XH558 is however is fully serviceable and ready for flight, and Marshall Aerospace together with VTST and BAE Systems are doing all they can as quickly as they can to resolve this unexpected, one-off issue within the next few days. We are very sad that it is not going to be possible for the Vulcan to display at Waddington over the weekend of 4th/5th July.
but what a shame...

She was very majestic off of Bournemouth yesterday, obviously being flow very gently, and the throttles just being tickled, but still awsome.

I think they would be great pics if I could see them on screen.
Can you please reduce the size of them so they are just below full screen size.

We had a fantastic view of her banking over the New Forest while enjoying a very pleasant pint outside my local. Awesome sight.  |

dear championaudi
please please please
open MS paint
then open your pictures in it
then open IMAGE stretch skew
and change 100 % in the top two boxes to 50%
then rename (so you dont lose the great pictures you take in high res) and post the renamed images here
we might be able to see them easily then
the picture of 558 climbing is breathtaking but impossible to see onscreen in one shot
stop the presses
I just tried it with your Vulcan picture at 25% got this
great picture thanks
