My boss at the CAA General Aviation Department was an old Vulcan hand, the late Wing Commander Harry McMaster, an Ulsterman and proud of it. We often discussed the awesome displays flown by the Vulcan in its final years with the RAF VDF. He loved his time flying the aircraft as the one time CO of the Vulcan conversion unit at Finningley.

I am glad the project has almost come to fruition and hope Harry will be able to look down as XH558 lifts off from that Bruntingthorpe runway which I have used occasionally. Watch out for an angel tucked in tight with feathered wings alongside the huge delta. They care not for legal RA(T)'s......!!!!

Cheers,
