Vulcan XH 558 Threads (merged)

[LS8-18]

Hi,

I am waiting with bated breath for the youtube link.

Can't wait to go and post it on the TVOC forums!!!

Go Tombstone Go....

[Flying Signman]

Has the deed been done we wonder?

Tombstone - can you confirm?

(or maybe he is still recovering from frost bite or even Rose blight?)

[clicker]

hope he's not caught a dose of black flies.

[spekesoftly]

Any sign of Tombstone ? Or has he been quiet as a graveyard. Perhaps the rose was too much of a thorn in his (back)side!

[Green Flash]

I understand Tombstone to be a man of the highest honour and integrety, but just in case an incentive is required a have in my grubby hand a crisp tenner which I will plunge deeply in to the nearest RBL Poppy Appeal collecting tin on the deed being carried out! What say you chaps?

[Blacksheep]

You do mean in addition to the usual tenner?

[Green Flash]

I mean in addition to the damn sight more than a tenner that I will give.

The Poppy is usually the only one I give to (exception is sometimes made for RAFBF/RAFA).

[LS8-18]

I would never suggest depriving the poppy appeal as its far too important but if you can spare it and given Tombstones demise is due to his now proven incorrect remarks about the vulcan never liftig off again hows about a donation to TVOC at http://www.tvoc.co.uk as well?

Tombstone.....

Oh, Toooombstoooooooone!!!

I was expecting to have seen evidence of a rosy glow to your cheeks by now, what's keeping you?

A promise is a promise!

[The AvgasDinosaur]

Perhaps he's got greenfly

maybe his "you tube" has failed.

Lots of activity around XH 558. Hangar doors ajar.

09:47 Hangar empty

'Vulcan outside hangar'.... Well that's a relief - you mean it wasn't beamed up by aliens?

I've sent Tombstone a PM - but no response yet......

[ComJam]

It's been a week now and still nothing......i suspect Mr Tombstone has gone into hiding. On the plus side he'll never be able to pull on an England rugby shirt without being reminded of his broken promise

[aviate1138]

Vulcan?

[Flying Signman]

'558 was being towed out this morning and backed up against the hangar purely for a photo shoot with a Poppy drop by the overflying BBMF Dakota.

Bit claggy weather wise, so not too sure if the plans have gone ahead.

As for Tombstone, he certainly has gone to ground!

[cornish-stormrider]

The phrase "Gutless gobshite waste of breathing air and food" springs to mind when referencing Mr Tombstone. If one can't put up, one should shut up.

Maybe his sign in handle should be changed to gutless welching b4st4rd who is too afraid of his boss to carry out his promise.

I wait with baited breath for his reply and will issue a profuse and humble retraction when the deed is posted for posteriority

[MostlyHarmless]

Don't you just hate it when people sit on the fence...

Question from afar:

If Tombstone 'performed,' would/could somebody at the base complain and he get into trouble for it? I can imagine a similiar act's consequence if performed here and a no-sense of humo(u)r-type filing a complaint............


If so, might a few days grace period allow for the probably increased viewing audience to lessen and reduce his career risk?


Total speculation, but a thought?

[forget]

I'm with brick on this. It ain't the Air Force it once was and Tombstone's probably best advised to renege. When's he coming out .................. of the RAF?
