That, Mr Hedge, was money well spent getting those Evo's off you.

Amazing and feel I need to see this in my life.

Thankyou :love:

Ian, what about organising a kind of meet and watch at one of them.

I certainly would be interested along with my Dad.

I did have thoughts about a meet at Wellesbourne Mountford as they have XM655 there which is accessible to the public.

I would definitely be up for that can we organise it?

Maybe get a list of who is interested?

I work a really crap shift that always falls on events but I am sure we can work something out.

^^^^ Against that backdrop you can see exactly how her flight seems so utterly effortless  :notworthy:

She was so very far advanced for her time.

I think it puts it into perspective when you realise it was only 10 years or so between Lancaster and Vulcan.  :surprised:
