This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Ugly chap, Vulcan.

Not having had the luck to have heard the Vulcan, how does it compare to the B-1B?

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster but I just wanted to say fantastic news, well done to all concerned.

I last saw XH558 at Wroughton in 1992, and it left a last memory of it coming in for a touch and go, truly awesome.

Do they plan on keeping it in flying condition? That is awsome. Good job to the crew and supporters of that organization.
