    Is she flying in June?
    Bloody great, I only live a few minutes from Duxford so will be out there
    looking. I might even make the unusual effort of either taking the bike or
    flying myself in there for the event. Is it a Flying event or just for the
    Vulc?

    It's supposedly a members only day, but Duxford also have an event as
    well, so there's confusion on the TVOC forum over what exactly is going
    on. The good news is that it should definitely be going ahead
    (providing the test flights are completed) as the ticket sales will
    cover the costs. Unfortunately SO is due to give birth on the 5th....

    Put a Bulldog clip on SO just in case ;o)
    I'll keep an eye out for any info this end. Flying in might be my best
    option anyway, so long as they are open for inbounds.
    Any idea when / where the test flights are?
    TIA.

    Test flights will be from the base in Leics, no dates yet as it's
    completely dependant on the money being raised. They've so far failed
    to attract a big commercial sponsor and are relying on donations from
    members at the moment. I think they'll probably end up completing the
    test flights in this manner and maybe an airshow or two in June, but
    after that there's a big question whether it will continue.

    Right.
    Thanks for the info.
    I hope they get her into the sky again. These were wonderful birds, albeit,
    bloody noisy! :eek:)
