Kate Simms the reporter took with her an engineer who worked on the Vulcans at Woodford.
That was actually Bob Pogson, the AVRO AEO who bailed out of XA891, an early Vulcan B1 in 1959 and developed the Blue Steel for the Vulcan, also carrying out the development and introduction of the B2.

The second shots in the hangar were actually swiftly changed due to the wonderful power of the internet and Pprune.

It wasn't noticed the phone number was out of shot, until the complaints were posted thus allowing immediate remedial action to be taken

It worked well though, the phones have been ringing themselves off the hook all day today
