He just asked while I was looking at those pictures "why the Vulcan, why not any other plane?"

Fantastic set of pictures - thank you for sharing them!

What's the history / story behind the V-Force Volunteers plate sat above the AEO station? Not seen it in any of the other "inside" photos.

Thanks,

Gully

If you scroll through them piccies fast... it almost becomes a film in places. (It also gives you some idea of the size of Base Hanger at Brize.. ) Happy days.

Great to see, thanks for those

[Mackrick]

From what I remember the names were put on there by Howard Bunton who use to paint the aircrew names on the entrance door, each year and as there was insufficient space for everyone an empty plate inside the cockpit was used.

When we rebuilt XH558 I recovered the panel and refitted it in memory of my past friends and to maintain part of it's history.

Thanks Smiler Wonderful insight

[Gully]

Thanks for that, Smiler! Really nice gesture, too.

[Mackrick]

Smiler I saved you any embarrasement by keeping a few of you back. But... for donations / pledges to 558 I may be able to find and post them.

Oh Ian I see you are still maintaining you personal PEDANT count

Is that what you sit and wait for so you can remind us how petty you can be?
