No, sorry but there was a hint of sarcasm in my reply! The problem is that 5 Sqn are waiting to receive their ASTOR aircraft, so even if hell did freeze over and they allowed the Vulcan indoors, it would be for a very short time. There's no other hangerage at Waddo that isn't either being used or would fit an aircraft of that size. Apparantly the condition of the aircraft isn't exactly very good at the moment, and having spoken to one of the last people to move it, it wasn't doing to well when they put it next to the A15....I sympathise, particularly as I have fond memories of 558 at airshows when I was a kid, particularly rolling past 90 degrees of bank after take off, b y mind blowing sight! Much as it pains me to say, I think it's going to take a lot of very keen people a lot of time to get anything happening, by which time it may be too late.
