Vulcan XL361
Hi,
This kite had the habit of switching to the rear tanks during refuels. One day whilst at G.B. it sat on its tail!! I have a picture! After several months of fixing the kite was given to me to look after. We spent many, many years flying mainly to the US via G.B.
Sad to hear she is in a bit of a state, but I guess we all grow old.

Oh almost forgot.
Due to the rear end "fix" she is about 18 inches longer that any other vulcan. They cut her back to an area that they could get to and just joggled on a new bit. The weight of all the rear end kit being further back from the c.g. made no differece to flying.
