Ah, thats handy
I hadn't bothered to look for one TBH due to this comment on the original article:

Ordinarily we would ask you to add your names to a list to reserve a space, but as is normal for our Vulcan visits you need to sign up directly on the XH558 page

Here's the latest pic taken during this service, we should be able to see some pretty cool stuff when we go

[djdestiny]

Saw that pic on FB the other day, it made me look forward to it even more

That's because you obviously don't spend every waking minute staring at the homepage

The problem is that there's so much to read on the forums that I'm always playing catch-up.

It's even more awe inspiring when you remind yourself that the Vulcan first flew a mere 7 years after the end of WW2 and consider what the average car, home etc. was like at that time. It must've looked like it was from another world.

I didn't know that a plane could prolapse

Indeed. My old man says such things as he saw it/them as a youngster (he's coming too). Plus i work in Aerospace, have a bit of a tragic obsession with most things that fly and the Cold War Era. Should be a cracking day

On another note Ive always said the same for Concorde. If that came out tomorrow... it would look futuristic.

Keep the bookings coming guys, I'm really looking forward to this one after reading the gripping book.

I took the book Vulcan 607 on holiday to the Dominican and read it in 4 days. I couldn't put it down it's an absolute joy to read, if you haven't read it buy it when you visit I did and I salute the engineers who made the projects and missions succeed.

I've had some great news this morning.

Martin Withers, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his part as a Vulcan pilot in the Falklands conflict will be there for our visit I'm hoping he'll do a talk too.

See you all there.

Wow £25 to look at a plane in a hangar.

There's always one....

Perfect location for my first visit to a Sunday Service, it's only a 20 minute drive away!

I'll be bringing my Dad along in the Boxster, or knicking the wife's beemer if anyone else wants to go!

[BarryP]

Booked, will be turning up in a GT-R R35.

[Wardy5]

Booked! See you all there.

Tempted to head up and support this worthy visit-330 mile round trip! May come up on Saturday night and book cheap accom in Doncaster and have a couple of beers. What is Doncaster like for a night out, anyone? Easily pleased, especially if there are any live bands venues ;-)
