NEW BLOW TO VULCAN FLIGHT
10:30 - 27 September 2007
The first flight of a restored Cold War Vulcan bomber has been hit by a further setback.
A key component failed during engine testing at Bruntingthorpe proving ground airfield.
Members of the team behind the £5.5million project to get the XH558 airborne had hoped to get the delta wing giant flying by now.
A spokesman for the Vulcan to the Sky Trust said: "When a part fails on the project, it must be sent back to the original manufacturer for repair.
"These delays are common in engineering projects."
It is hoped the component will be back on site for a first flight next month.
Before the aircraft can fly, it needs clearance from the Civil Aviation Authority.
