Andrew.S Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Hello, I am on Brtimodeller here about 2 years long and I am very often impressed of the builds a also inspiring discussions. I would like to ask you - Avro Vulcan lovers or admirers. I was going to go to England (in August) or to Scottland (in September) to the last airshows, where the Vulcan will be flying. But I had a few collisions with my computer and another stuff in my house, so now I am without money to go to the airshow. I am really big lover of the Vulcan. It was very sad for me as for as everyone to hear, that Vulcan will fly for the last time in history. I will be very happy, if anyone, who is going to visit the Vulcan for the last time will help me just with e.g. authentic video or photo with date and his sign on it or something. I am from Czech Republic, so it is very long way to go on your home island even though I would like to see it for my own for the first and last time in my life.I will be very happy with every response. Please, write me an e-mail ([email protected]) or private message here, on Britmodeller.Thank you very much in advance. King Regards, Ondrej Skarka Edited August 7, 2015 by Andrew.S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Maybe not too much to worry about, it has been said this is the last season for the Vulcan for a few years, it seems to get a reprieve everytime?? If the money does run out, I'm sure someone in the US would take it on?? . . . Kes (being optimistic?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depressed lemur Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Ondrej, I am going to Blackpool tomorrow. 558 is due as the finale, and I have a brand new camera to try out.i hope I get some decent pics and will post on here if I am happy with the results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Sadly this time its not about money but about the engineering sponsors willing to continue to participate. I've read that its down to their legal departments not thinking that the growing risk of something going wrong and the potential reputational damage that could cause is worth the ongoing participation.

Flektor Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I took a video of the Vulcan at Blackpool last weekend. I am on facebook so do a search for Gordon S Walker and you can watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Some pics from a couple of friends on Flickr.. Wish I had gone this year, went last year but XH558 was grounded. Bad weather again this year, but great to see it flying past Beachy Head again! Mine from RIAT this year.. Hopefully the weather will be fine for flying at Shoreham next weekend.

Andrew, We will be looking at the same patch of sky on that Saturday. Just purchased my ticket for a 'Dads day off' treat. Really looking forward to it, fingers crossed for some good weather There is a rumour that something is trying to be planned with Sally B being in the air at the same time. Possibly hearsay, but we can dream! Best Regards Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
