Vulcan Visit 2015
Discussion
Thanks to everyone for putting their names down for this event. We are limited to 24 people I think we have space for one more person so before I close the list - first come first served for one last person.
I will then close the list and confirm costs (around £10 a head) and arrangements.

LIST NOW CLOSED
Hi all. Have now closed entry list. We have a very healthy number for this special day. I will liaise with the chap at Vulcan central and get back to you all with details.
If you are interested next Sunday is the Wheels and Wings Day at Wellesbourne Mountford where they will run the Vulcan down the runway - great day out with classic cars and visiting aircraft.
Thanks for all your interest......

Looking at the info on the Wheels and Wings Day web page it also says the Vulcan will be leaving the airfield to display at the Weston Airshow, the scheduled time for the Vulcan to display at Weston is 17.10, so if you are at Wheels and Wings you should also see a take off as well as Taxi Runs
Don't blame me if the scheduling goes tit's up though

Unlikely XH558 will be landing at Wellesbourne and then taking off as once it's in it cannot get out. The runways not long enough but would love to be proved wrong. Suspect the take off relates to when she leaves Doncaster.....
Just goes to prove that I need to learn more about these aircraft 
, I should have realised XM655 would be doing Taxi runs, and if I am now reading correctly, XH558 will do either a fly past or display, please correct me if I wrong, as I already have been.http://www.xm655.com/events.php

Not at all it's great you are interested and even better you like Vulcans and own a great make of car., I should have realised XM655 would be doing Taxi runs, and if I am now reading correctly, XH558 will do either a fly past or display, please correct me if I wrong, as I already have been.http://www.xm655.com/events.php
The history of XM665 is very interesting too. It was the last Vulcan bar two to be built, and is the youngest surviving example. XM655 initially flew with No.9 Squadron of the RAF, and was also operated by Nos. 44, 50 and 101 Squadrons. In 1984, XM655 was sold off to Roy Jacobsen who intended to keep her airworthy, but the costs proved prohibitive and also the runway was too short for it to take off, and XM655 was left to deteriorate. Title of XM655 then passed onto John Littler, owner of Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield, who intended to get her to a taxiable condition, but not airworthy.
Jacobsen also originally bought XL426 the other Vulcan that does fast taxi runs based at Southend. Unfortunately his plans to fly this ex RAF display aircraft failed as well.
