Looking good, maybe she'll be flying soon  8-)

[Papa9571]

If the CAA completes her inspections and certifies her I have no doubt she will fly. The trust has completed all of the aircraft systems refurbishing and tested them, including engines. I hope she will be back in the air soon.

[Craig.]

It's possible she could fly as soon as tomorrow weather permitting.

FLYPAST BY BBMF ACFT WI 3NM RAD 5230N 00106W (BRUNTINGTHORPE,LEICS)

@papa9571, the caa have completed all there checks etc, with there being fast taxi runs completed today and the brake chute being deployed it looks as if she will make her first flight in over 14 years tommorow

[Craig.]

Quite possibly a flypast and join up for a show fly past with all of them for the TV cameras?

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 a certain Mr. M. Fish said we don't get hurricanes in the UK......... 'nuff said

Well according to Said Fish, he was on about another hurricane just hitting Florida at the same time.

The MOD certainly seem to think that she'll fly tomorow!... http://www.blogs.mod.uk/defence_news/de ... index.html

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...)

[MWISimmer]

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...

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.
