Ex-Rigger, I did my Vulcan course at Finningley in 69, and left "Waddo" in 1970, thankfully, had nothing further to do with the "flat iron" again, so have certainly not got any notes left to consult! But it was a great place to be in those days. The Raven Club was the place to be on a Saturday night for the young ladies of Lincoln. The Vulcan might have been a great aircraft for the two winged master race to fly, but I remember it was awful to maintain, I can still have nightmares remembering doing a wing fuel tank bag change in the middle of summer in a rubber suit with a breathing tube that hung out the tank panel. And as for that collection of ducting in the nose u/c bay with an alarming frequency of leaking hot air, what a design!
