Shame the MOD can't spell....Tomorrow 18 October 2007
Defenec Minister Mr Twigg to present medals to Henry Francis who recently had his medals stolen.
Vulcan bomber expected to take off from Bruntingthorpe Airfield today for a test flight.
Of all the words to get wrong...

I'm trying to convince Tweek to get out and get us some shots ;)

Patience children, if you get all excited you can bet the weather will clamp
Nah, we're set for a couple of days of clear skies, and freezing colds nights.
And in the context of test flights, how is that a bad thing? (Judging by emoticon use...)
Craig doesn't like the cold. And having lived in Canada, it makes no sense I know.
That's irrelevant to the Vulcan's test flight though isn't it.

My big worry is that this event will get little coverage thanks to the news in Pakistan.
Right now theres nothing on news24 or sky. :-/

It hasn't flown yet. I daresay that if & when it does there will be plenty of news coverage.

Hopefully though as doug says, once it goes up, some screen will be given to it for full coverage. BBC is on the hospital bug on their multiscreen
Burritos and bugs, what a day for a first flights.

Let's be realistic about this. Whatever aviation enthusiasts might like to think the first flight of a restored vintage aircraft is a minor event in the general scheme of things.

Depends really. when our money has been spent on this project, and when it is a pretty big thing locally, I dont see how some possibly corrupt politician returning home halfway round the world, deserves any more time than this.

At the risk of getting political, current events in Pakistan could very well affect the stability of that whole part of the world for years to come. This is an international matter & is far more important than flying an antique aeroplane.
BBC have now left Karachi, so hopefully there will be scope in their schedule for it...Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 631 guests
