Excellent :clap: :clap:

I've been wanting this moment for ages.

I was down at Bruntingthorpe back in November 2005, to drive TVRs & begged the '558' crew to let me into the hanger (Sunday was normal open day, we were there on a Saturday)

They wouldn't :'( :'(

But, I'd already seen XM594 at Newark Air Museum a few months previously

Digressing..........

I've been here & seen it run up & taxiied.
Now that's a fantastic noise, complete with it's support act :D

I still live in hope that she'll make it to RIAT - not listed on the website so I suspect it'll just be their sales stand again rather than a Vulcan display. Pity really, it'd be funny to see the reaction she'd get from the USAF crews!  :lol:
