Thanks to all that came to see XM655. We hope you had a great day.

I have just e-donated £135 to XH558 on behalf XM655 (655MaPS) to help keep her sister in the air.
The donation was money raised from your visit today, thank you all.

Hi all

Now not many people realise that a rather unusual and possibly unique event took place at Wellesbourne on Sunday. VTTS member Bryan Hull asked us if he could propose to his partner Avril Magill inside the cockpit of Vulcan XM655. Well of course anything to help.... But then I was asked if I could take a few photos... - Inside the dark cockpit of a Vulcan? No pressure then... So without my big flashgun I had to attempt using the pop up flash on my camera and I hope I got away with it!

I'm sure everybody from the XM655 team will join me in wishing Bryan and Avril our best wishes for a happy life together.

The XM655 committee are now considering applying for a civil wedding licence! How many could we fit in the bomb bay?
Heres a link to the pics....

I'm glad she said YES!

[RLN]

Good luck to them both.

[Sooty655]

I'm glad she said YES!

We were just relieved there was no request for a cockpit consummation.

So am I, should I bring some wet wipes just in case?
