Will this First Flight Fuel that I have helped with become her Last Ever Flight Fuel to an unknown destination?

No! I'm sure certain people know where she's going... Bit of luck, Martin W's one of them! =))

I'd love to know why it's such a BIG secret! Maybe Knowledge is power!

by **Sploosher** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:02 pm

I too have wondered why it is such a big secret..............

I personally cant see what harm it can do to divulge who the trust have been in talks with as regards her new home,even if it is only for this season...........

by **MrTim** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:47 pm

They've probably been told not to by the airport/base

they are going to. If you're told to button it you have to button it.

OK, so WHY is it such a BIG SECRET, WHY are they told to BUTTON IT? :-o

by **Sploosher** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 11:27 am

Surely it would be great for 558 to welcomed home to a Former Vulcan base by true supporters..........

And with it being an airport, I am sure it could cope with hundreds if not thousands of us wanting to say welcome home.

Might have to do a pack up and get my folding chair out............

Why is it a big secret?

Maybe because someone in the trust likes to be `In control` :ymdevil:

Its like being back in the RAF in my old trade which had the nick name of `Mushroom` because we were kept in the dark and fed on bull$h1t =))

by **Minty4371** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:33 pm

If it is to be a secret, then why are the media being invited to the arrival? So that the trust can use the media to ask the public for more money? All fuel packs have now been sold.

I didn't say they were. But if for contractual/safety/not stealing their thunder reasons the other party asks (tells) you to keep quiet, you have to oblige, or put the whole deal at risk.

The same sort of thing happens in business all the time. I have to keep buttoned about all sorts of stuff I work on even though I see no reason for secrecy.

I heard on the vine that Robin hood was a strategic site for the old girl, that was the rumour around last year.

by **Xplumberlives** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:27 pm

I got B*LL*CKED years ago by the infamous Rusty for mentioning Robin Hood as her "NEW HOME" on the GOOD OLD TVOC Forum, not the poor relation it is now!

by **Sploosher** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:31 pm

we plan to hang around the area tomorrow too, going to visit Walkers Garden centre http://www.walkersnurseries.tv/ and also a general mooch around the area and see what happens..............

The weather looks like it is going to be fine so hopefully we may hear the sound of `owls`.........

The cameras will be with us of course, so a visit to the airfield (I take there are veiwing facilities) could be included too........

@xpl............

yes, I remember those good old days too,

shame they disappeared........

Walkers nursery is in Blaxton which is at the North end of the airfield, we were at the YWP yesterday and saw a couple of big jets taking off that direction,

I should imagine that if a `heritage jet` was going to land there, then it would make a couple of passes before landing, which would be good...........
