If you go to Anthony Bartram's excellent piece for BBC East Midlands Today, you will see, right at the end, a very clear view of the panther head.

On a more general note, it's a pity the main beeb was in such a state of chaos over its cuts that it couldn't manage to cover it nationally. Much credit is due to Anthony Bartram, who went to do the piece for the local beeb off his own bat, since the failure to get national coverage was something he had fought hard to avoid.

Blacksheep - The lovely Kathy West, although not a serving officer, looks rather fetching in her No.1s.
May not be work safe, obviously that depends on where you work.

Apology
I humbly submit my profuse and gushing apology to Mr Tombstone for impugning (sp) his character. The RAF needs more like him, people with the moral courage to put up after losing a bet. Well Done. Oh and as I am still a civvy I can quite categorically say to the fun police
"Get a life you miserable pen pushing 4rselickers. You bring shame and loss of morale to a mighty force. You sicken me with your rulebook following attitude. May you suffer painful piles as pennance for your heinous deeds."
Oh and Tombstone, did every rose have its thorn??

phoenix leader, the window to which you refer is the AEO's 'porthole' window and was a feature of every Vulcan ever built.
An old copy of 'Royal Air Force Flying Review' which I have, dates July 1953 (price 1/-) has a 3 page article on the Vulcan - and VX770 clearly shows the window between the roundel and the port intake.
A similar window is located on the starboard side adjacent to the nav radar's seat.
Incidentally, the same magazine also describes the 600+ aircraft Royal Review at Odiham - and there were another 300 aircraft on static display. The flypast aircraft operated from 'more than 40 airfields all over Great Britain and Northern Ireland'.......

Well done to the team for getting the mighty Vulcan back in the air where she belongs. I can't wait to take my wee lass to see XH558 perform like I saw her back in Middle Wallop eons ago.
Well done to Tombstone for honouring his bet and placing the rose where it really doesn't belong.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

That'll be me then, in the office, probably fast asleep. The only reson I wore that daft Mk2A ? helmet was to enable me to wedge my head in the most comfortable sleeping position.
Happy day's
