Bodge Deep Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Could be worse... it could have been someone who you really hated beforehand & he could have been flying in a real warbird... none of that modern nonsense :naughty: :banana: :banana: :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 it's a shame you have to go all the way to S Africa to see a flying Lightning or Buccaneer. But that's the CAA and MoD for you. Maybe we'll see the Bruntingthorpe Vulcan up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yeah - over Johannesburg,,, Do you honestly think the political masters of the CAA will ever allow a privately owned Vulcan to fly again??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmite!!

ArtistsRifles Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 WOW :schocked: :schocked: I stand (or sit..) corrected - I am suprised and delighted that one of the old girls will be airborne again but I have to admit I never ever thought the CAA would be allowed to give one a ticket. It's so nice to be wrong!!!! :-) :-) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Indeed - but I didn't think XL426 had ambitions at getting a CAA ticket, just to be taxiable??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong Lee, but I think they are only allowing the one flight and then it goes into a museum somewhere, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong Lee, but I think they are only allowing the one flight and then it goes into a museum somewhere, not sure. From what I can see they had three dates booked subject to serviceability. 17 June 2007 - Falklands Flypast http://www.tvoc.co.uk/diary/default.asp?date=17/6/2007 30 June 2007 - Waddington International Airshow http://www.tvoc.co.uk/diary/default.asp?date=30/6/2007 1 July 2007 - Waddington International Airshow http://www.tvoc.co.uk/diary/default.asp?date=1/7/2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
