Thanks Avro, all info is welcome - you never know where I can wangle a holiday too .... :p

Why not place the info to the Nanton museum in the links section & suggest to Wedgy he link it permanently?
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.

Bit of an update.
The third merlin rebuild has progressed to the reassembling stage with first runs hopefully sometime in the spring of 2011.
The aircraft has also had her hydraulic system rebuilt and has operable bombdoors and flaps as well as landing,navigation and interior lighting!

Good progress!
