[st3ve]

Only one picture? Bit disappointing.

Why the fog light blanks?

 

[MartinR]

Thats a let down on the picture side, was expecting more! nice car though

 

[Adam.]

 

[Munson]

So that's now TWO threads and still no pics of the bomber? Lol.

 

[jonw279]

Car looks good! I was going to have a drive along to this meet with my mate in his mk 2 escort but didn't bother.

 

[Steven103]

Saw the title & thought "epic."

The only consolation is that the pile of metal in the background isn't what you meant by "Vulcan?"

 

[Cliotoby]

My favorite part was the bit with the bomber.

[Cerrone]

Didn't realise how big those things are!!!! Nice photo's

 

[Stu.]

looking good! Needs fogs in though :rasp: Did you not buy it with the coilovers? Any plans for it?

 

[mcclusky]

nah got the coilies taken off mate. first thing next month is the belts, then after that ktr uprated brakes all round, eibach sportlines, rear strut, and spacers.

 

[Wayne-G]

Looks good. Dont see the point in the blanks though, might aswell have fogs or have holes + a bit of pipe for brake cooling.

Any reason for removing coils? usually the other way about! lol Hope your enjoying it!

Cheeky wee pic next to mine with the prev owner :rasp:

 

[Leeshez]

Nice piccys .

 

[Jb40k]

Nice pictures! Your car looks like a toy compared to that bomber!

 

[Goodj]

Vulcans are majestic things.

Used to pretty much rock the foundations of the entire base at Mildenhall during the days of the Air Fete.... oh I miss those air fetes. sigh.

Vulcan and SR-71, my 2 favourite non-fighter jets

 

[_Tom]

Car looks great.

I remember being a lad with the Vulcans doing displays at fairford air show. The noise they made was mental. Makes a typhoon sound like a dyson in comparison.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Looks weird without the fog lights!

 

[Addicted]

AWESOME!

Where is this? I assume this isn't the one that's still alive?

 

[mcclusky]

its in Sunderland air musuem. it has 100% of its components but needs restoring as the raf cut a lot of wires and things when they grounded it. there are volunteers working every sunday trying to get it back to its former glory, the guy we got speaking to said its possible to get 80% of the systems online for demonstration purposes, but they arent allowed certain things to operate like the ground radar, ejection seats and engines etc

This is the only one left flying in the world, shame really , such a great aircraft

 

[JackJack]

Cool to see the size difference didn't expect it to be that much.

 

[aucky]

Great pics!

 

[not normal dan]

Saw a Vulcan other week during a flypast over the national arboretum. Sounded immense, there huge even thousands of feet up!

 

[Brian172]

Was at the Farnborough air show the other day.
Vulcan bomber was there, an amazing plane to see fly. sounded immense!
Nice pics btw.

 

[Dan.G]

Great pics with a great aircraft! One of the nice things when i was at Kemble airfield doing a licence course was having fly-bys from the vulcan thats still flying because there was another old fighter restoration firm on the airfield. Great break from the hangar to see that tearing around!!!
