Default Vulcan Roll-out at Bruntingthorpe yesterday - Not 56k friendly

The Vulcan is now being prepared to take to the sky. They have the money, they have the equipment, they have the talent, they have the time....

But for now - yesterday was officially the first time in 7 years that she had been out of the Hanger - so a big event was planned... and I went.

Before the pictures I'd just like to plug...

The Vulcan Operating Company

and

The Vulcan to the Sky Club

Looking good










You are most certainly welcome - not get back into the air where you belong!

Friends of the Vulcan?
"When we grow up we want to be....."






It's a monkey...




It's a bit empty

And finally...

A tribute to Sir Frank Whittle - without him the Vulcan would not be possible.

Would have loved to have been there for that, but I have no idea where it is.

Any video footage of the roll out? Highlights of the speech? etc.
