Been nosing around flickr and there are some corkers in there. Just wish mine were as good.

Don't be too hard on yourself - The Vulcan Taking Off is spot on and one of the best I have seen! https://www.flickr.com/gp/400se/z9C1nm

Duxford already has a Vulcan - and I wouldn't like to try landing '558 there since the M11 shortened the runway...
The one they have landed there no problem.Runway is long enough to land, not take off again.
We had the same problem at Strathallan with our Lanc, Shackleton and Comet. When the museum was forced to close by the local council, the Lanc was trucked out in bits - the other two, remaining unsold and with advancing corrosion, were scrapped, unfortunately.

Cheers. It is in the air I seem to be lacking. Still learning, you ain't seen what I have deleted jmorgan said:

BTW Just scanned your other albums - the F-18 and Bf-109 are perfect to me.
Part of VTTS's latest e-mail gives a link to the Avro Museum at Woodford - looks worth a visit

Very weird email from VTTS yesterday, surely ANY announcement of a final flight is going to draw a large crowd? Unless they are implying that the last flight most definitely won't be at a weekend.
Or prepping people to that the flight will be announced at very short (or no?) notice to prevent people from crowding to see it.The thing is, people _didn't_ flock to Doncaster in their thousands on the 'final tour' weekend. They heeded the request to stay away even though many were under the impression it was the final flight. By creating all this mystery about future flights, the VTTS is alienating the many of the very people they will need in the future, those who are sufficiently interested in the non-flying future of XH558 to dip into their pockets and continue funding it.

On the Sunday the roads at the end and side of the runway were nose to tail with parked cars.muckymotor said:
