[RLN]

All I can say is - Bloody Hell. What a take off - did he swerve to avoid a rabbit, and what a climb. Thanks for posting it SB, and thanks for filming it Cluny.

[Saracenman]

brilliant snaps and clip as ever - yeah, the takeoff was the liveliest I've seen

a few pics from me - not too many - but some vid clips to add tomorrow

[RLN]

Thanks for the video. Let me see - VC10 simulator, 2 VC10s and 558 - am I jealous? Just don't go down any dark alleys

[Saracenman]

that's what living in the South is all about

558 is now at Lyneham, after having to divert due to an incident at Brize. She'll be staying there and departing for The Netherlands later in the week

[RLN]

I do live in the Sarf, just not that God-forsaken bit near Wales

Hope it's nothing serious at Brize.

[Wedgy]

lovely climb

[Saracenman]

Hope it's nothing serious at Brize.

Don't listen to him - any photo HAS to be better than the photo of his feet he posted........














Doesn't it

More to come.....

[Sad Sam3]

Hmmm, don't want much do you? A flying Vulcan and pictures of Rick working!

Got some of him going for a smoke break.


And some of him coming back.


Closest thing I have to him working is this action shot when Taff mentioned TRU


Seriously though Rick has been great as soon as we have needed anything he has sorted it for us

Been a real buzz seeing the pleasure 558 gives to people first hand. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot more of you over the next few months.

Once more thanks for all your work this weekend Rick (where were you @ midnight on Sunday?)
