Today at Marham would have been an ideal opportunity for 'Tombstone' to honour the pledge he made on 7 Aug 2006:
I will walk around every into each Sqn crewroom at Marham, naked with a rose between my arse cheeks, singing a song of your choice if the Vulcan ever flies again.

558 is displaying at Lowestoft and Cottesmore families day tomorrow, Cottesmore around 1500 from what I can fathom. Family days are private events but both my daughter and son in law are stationed there so I may just have to "drop in" on them tomorrow and may just find a need to run my daughter up to MT to see a friend

For those of you going to Cottesmore/Lowestoft today this has just been posted on Twitter:
DamienB is doing a grand job at ensuring news is communicated as soon as possible.
Today's flight CANCELLED. OOP inspection found a gear door bracket needs replacing; should be done today. More on vulcantothesky.org soon.

Did you even read the 'twitter' link I posted in the other thread?
In case you missed it it reads:
Sounds to me like its fixed and just waiting to be signed off in the morning.
In case you missed it it reads:
Bracket replaced. Paper work in morning. Thank you very much XM655 @ Wellesbourne.
Thanks for the comment, Vulcan 903. Another well done to Damien for keeping the updates flowing. It saved me a journey to RAF Cottesmore.

Just now
In one of those strange co-incidences which happen in life just as I'm looking at these pictures I hear that unmistakeable sound and running outside I get to see a vulcan flying for the first time since I was posted from Waddington in 1981!!
For those interested XH558 just flew over my house in North Lincolnshire, 2 miles to north of Scunthorpe, heading north.
