Gooseneck Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Three major players, including BAe and Rolls-Royce, have pulled out of Vulcan XH558 sponsorship. I went along today, to what may well be the last time we see one of these incredible aircraft flying, designed only ten years after the Lancaster by the same guy, Roy Chadwick. If it was up to me, the RAF would buy it back and the BBMF would continue with it. But without BAe and Rolls-Royce, maybe even that isn't possible. Sad day. Hope you guys can get BBC links... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-34495414
mr_mojo97 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Yeah, it's a shame indeed.i was lucky enough to be one of the many at the Ayr airshow to see it for the final time. Phenomenal sight, and beautiful bird (I've seen it many times at airshow and static ones at aerodromes). Will be sorely missed.
