mmm now thats a good idea.. need to wait for warmer weather though its just a td on the fresh side at the moment. Last time I was on 655 she still had live seats and bottles fitted not long after she got there so would be nice to have another look round.

Hi all.

Just a line to let you Vulcan fans know that XM655 has just about finished her winter servicing.Items overhauled include the aircrafts brakes and rudder PFCU's and of course the continued restoration of our Sentinal tug by Bovril.
Hope to see you all at Wellesbourne on June 21st.
I only do it with a long lead.

Love the angle, would look brilliant in my car window :D

Would you get the same angle and perspective from a current photo?

Well that depends if its a sticky glue type sticker of like the tax disk holder ones non sticky and its actual size :p
Seriously though its a great idea.
VTS do one as well as a bench mark for price.
