Try http://www.tvoc.co.uk for The Vulcan Operating Company. Some cool movie clips on there too, one in particular showing an awesome t/o and climb out. There's a Vulcan at Blackpool, but it's had no TLC at all and coupled with the damp and salty sea air (it's 500yds from the sea) has resulted in it becoming corroded to bu99ery.

Saw the Vulc at Carlisle. Looks lovely, but still corroded. Their Lightning is totally knacked from what I could see. Spent half an hour probing round it (couldn't see high enough into the Vulc...!) Looks like some murderer took an angle grinder to the Lightning to make sure it'd never fly again.

TVOC can have my fiver for sure.
