More Vulcan pics

[Mayfly]

just trawling tho' DTs photos to see if there was anything suitable for a banner & found these that I thought you might be interested in

Save 558 the first time round



Barrys domain how it use to look



XM652 showing the plate that often gets mentioned
edit: after a little research the pic was taken during formation training prior to deployment to the Falklands

& the underside showing the plate that often gets mentioned

Before anyone asks it's the Counterpoise panel which holds the Red Shrimp antennas... there, I said it

Should be a fine system in place for anyone who asks the question "what's that between the engines then?"

MF - what do we need to bribe you with, to persuade you to keep digging through your old snaps?

[Gully]

I think I'm about to get stomped on by MF, but here goes...

Is that underside shot actually 558? 3 reasons I ask: firstly, they look like 300 series nozzles and I think I can see the 301 anti-icing unit exhausts, secondly, when 558 was converted back to B2-ish standard for display use, the air scoop for the ECM equipment was removed and it's in this piccie and, thirdly, the paint job looks matt instead of glossy.

Preparing for incoming...

to be honest Gully I dont know I never thought about it, it was the plate that I thought would be interesting .......I'll ask DT when he gets home but 95% of his vulcan pics are 558 so I just assumed

Wedgy, DT has so many photos - it never occurs to me others would be interesting in seeing them other than the more unusual ones above

edit: Full marks to Gully for observation it is infact XM652 - showing the ECM cooling duct, tail skid and tail mounted ECM aerial

thread title changed

that'll teach me to read & not assume

[Gully]

Whichever airframe it is, it's a stunning picture!!

Think you've got a hungry audience for any more you'd like to post!

[Mayfly]

well it says DTs copyright so I am assuming he took it when doing formation but the chase A/C whatever it was is nice & close

And a counter fine against anybody who answers the question BEFORE it's even asked!
