just to let you know the second test flight of the Vulcan has been happening today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpnXCJffFRQshe has landed away from Brunters after declaring an emergency, it doesn't look too serious, more like a faulty indicator. But after £6 million spent on the project you can't be too careful. |

Good to see the programme's still going.
Bloody hell, they make a row.
Where did it land? Waddington were a div for the 1st test flight.

Oops. Mind you, the odd faulty indicator is only to be expected I suppose - glad that it wasn't a genuine one! Did she recover to Bruntingthorpe or is she still at Cottesmore?

Hi Peter - nice when a plan comes together. Good to hear - presumably all working up to a first public appearance at the Duxford Spring Airshow in May?

Seen a Vulcan fly many a time.
Glorious noise and a wonderful site.
Hope all is well with the bird.

Seeing her there like that at Coningsby brings a lump to the ancient throat dunnit. Just like a real aircraft again
Marvellous and a credit to the hard working team, dedicated to loving her back into the sky.
fantastic
