Picked as one of the Classic British V8 motorcars to stand alongside the ultimate Vpower vehicle - the mighty Vulcan...

I did think it would be a great location for a Pistonheads Sunday Service..... But unsure where 3/4/500 cars could park up for a few hours, as it is a LIVE airport... And people could go for a tour of the Vulcan for a few quid to help them raise money to keep it flying....

XH558 is one of the very few "good causes" I've donated to.

I was so thrilled to see it at Goodwood a few years ago. What a machine and you're so lucky to have the photos from that shoot which include your car.

Jealous does not cover it.

Ian,
WWM have run 2 days at Wellesbourne where Vulcan XM655 is located. Tour around the aircraft and some pictures under the wings. Really enjoyable and raises a few peenies for the volunteers who do a sterling jon in keeping it running - it does runway runs a couple of times a year but will never leave there (I don't think) as the runway is too short for take off. Apparently it was a tad hairy landing it, and that was by one of the most experienced (read nutter) pilots.

I'll let you know if there is another being arranged but it gets booked up very quickly.

Si the Vulcan lives at Robin Hood now its usually in the hanger unless they are testing or have a couple of air shows to do or having its pic taken with some class motors!, if your local you can book a hangar tour via their website, link below, well worth a visit keep it flying.

Ta Jack - remember getting in the cockpit of one at Greenham Air Show 30-odd years ago and getting a postcard signed by the crew. Made my day - wonderful looking and sounding beasts (Vulcans, not the crew!)
