XH558...

[Mojocvh]

.............reported on pprune as back "outside" after final engine checks, web cams are OFF......is this it?

[Kermit power]

Yes. I haven't a clue what you're on about, but this is, without a shadow of a doubt, it.

[RDE]

I know what you mean. Probably not, just based on the number of times it's been said that it's going to and hasn't. Still hopeful though.

(Edited to make it less obvious what 'it' is)

For those that don't know XH558 is an Avro Vulcan, and is about to fly again for the first time in 11 years. looks like this

Awesome

Can't wait for this to happen.
Gives me hope that one day, some crazy crazy person might possibly get a Concorde back in the air...

If they do I suspect it will be an ex Air France one

Superb! Get back in the air.

The webcams show it being towed outside?

The live feeds are off, and its showing footage from about 30 mins ago...(10:30am)

To be fair, my memories of seeing the Vulcan suggest that anyone within the surrounding four counties will know when it happens!

Excellent news. It sounds like it might be ready just in time for the new cold war!
