Vulcan book

My Vulcan book's nearly finished - just "mopping up" now!

Anyone have (or know where I could find) any pictures showing Vulcans with the OCU at Finningley (ie- with Finningley in the background)?

Second plea - anyone have a shot of XH539 during its service at Boscombe Down? It had rather odd calibration markings on the bomb bay.

Even more obscure - anyone got a shot of XH478 when it carried dayglow strip markings? We're assuming this was in connection with refuelling trials although the stripes seem to have been applied at a later date - a mystery!

As ever, any pictures that haven't been seen much before would be very welcome. I want to try and make the book as interesting as possible but of course it's a struggle to include anything which hasn't been seen many times before. Same with the text - there's only one developmental/service history to tell so there ain't much scope for flexibility, but I'm counting on some good accounts from Vulcan personnel to at least make the book a decent read! Thanks folks!
