A Welcome return to the Skies !!

After many years of battle and hard work, The Vulcan Flies again !! The only one in the World too !!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/l...re/7049694.stm

There is a video link there too.

I used to see these quite regularly over here right up until the Falklands Conflict in 1982 and then never saw them again.

A real credit to all those who have worked hard to restore her and raise funds for her.

Regards.....Mark.

That is wonderful. Congratualtions to the people who built her, and i agree with the person that said it should be used for the opening of the olympics. I always loved the Vulcan and there is one situated at Southend Airport which my dad joined a club for and saw it is such a wonderful plane.

The most expensive restoration to fly yet,with zero houred engines she should be set to fly for quite some time,lets see this and the Red Arrows,plus the lovely Lancaster open the Olympics and show the world what British engineering was like before we became a nation of assemblers,lets be proud of these things instead of all this silly political correctness nonsense.

Does anyone know when the Vulcan will fly again at a public airshow? It was supposed to make it's maiden appearance (post restoration) at Duxford on the Airshow this weekend 18th-19th May but it's appearance there been cancelled.
