Tombstone
The guy who promised to do something with a rose if a Vulcan flew again??? The rose is growing again and will only get bigger, pucker up Tombstone and take it now before the thorns get too big to bear!

Hi Milt,
"Anti-Dets" are Anti Deterioration checks. We do them at 14 and 28 day intervals to prevent the aircraft degrading when not in constant flight use. Replenishment of gases and fluids, lubrication and some system run ups to exercise seals and equipments etc. At 28 days we take the aircraft for a wee waddle to the engine running area and run the engines, the Auxiliary Airborne Power unit (AAPP), the Powered Flying Controls (PFCU) and such other systems as/when deemed necessary, e.g. Airbrakes, bomb doors, VHF radios etc, as detailed by the approved schedule from Marshalls of Cambridge.
These anti-dets are performed by TVOC full-time personnel under delegated authorities from Marshalls of Cambridge. All very enjoyable for TVOC engineers and also a part of our ongoing training towards operations in the flying season.
Hope that helps

I see there is a NOTAM issued for today (Friday 11th) for Vulcan test flights at Bruntingthorpe 09.00-15.00 surface to 3000ft, anyone got any further gen. I assume it will be weather permitting!
