Don't mean to make you all jealous but the vulcan flew over my work just north of Northampton at about 1pm heading NW at about 1000-1500ft with under carraige down, Sounded great. Made my day.

Exsimguy,
Sky are probably pandering to the large number of Ms Bhutto fellow countrymen who now live in the UK and who are not really interested in our country's history.
Mind you I have the impression that very few of our politicians worry about it either:{

Congratulations, wonderful news on a lovely day. :ok:

Even though my heart is piston-powered, there is summat special about the Vulcan

Topslide6
The Sky jounalist who stated that can we the public, really justify spending lottery money on it is probably one of those who agree on more lottery money being milked off to pay for an event where competitors can say to each other
"my undetected drug is better than your undetected drug":=

Fantastic news! Can't wait to get home from work and seem it for myself!

RealSlimShady.. With regard to the crew. I don't know about the rest of the guys but if Martin Withers is anything to go by then he is a highly experienced Vulcan Pilot and if he's on current form then even better.. He commanded the first Vulcan (607) mission on Port Stanley.

Absolutely top job by all who have and are working on this project. I take my hat off to you all..:)

Congratulations to the Vulcan to the Sky Team - in particular Taff Stone and Dave Thomas (old muckers of mine). I'm just so sad that I missed it as I am in the desert at HM's request...Rubbish!:{

DiamondDog, I'm not passing any comment against Martin's flying skills or anyone else's for that matter, simply observing that he "appears" ( according to the website) to be the only one in current flying practice on a large aircraft and in possession of an ATPL.

And the tense should be "was"

Nevertheless, well done to everyone who got the beastie airborne again.

FAN-FLIPPIN'-TASTIC!!!

Excellent news.

GREAT BRITAIN PLC...................and we will win the rugby this weekend as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WICKED.


you boy's at Bruntingthorpe deserve a medal.

Surely Al McDicken is/was a test pilot for BAe?

If I were to trust anyone with my Vulcan I would rather have a fully qualified test pilot rather than any old sh*g whose only claim to fame is a current ATPL and experience on large aeroplanes.

Thousands of us have the latter qualification but not many have the former!

Well done Sky......but
 

Fortunate (?) enough to work from home. Just brewed up to take 10 and watch Sky coverage at 12:20 today and blow me...phone rang and emerged 25 minutes later having missed the action!!!

Saw a 4 second glimpse on Sky at lunchtime but not proper look yet.

Wonderful achievement.....Long may she grace the skies.:D

Credit to Sky for at least covering the flight BUT SURELY they could have cut between Brunters and Karachi this morning to show pre-flight goings on?

Duh!:*

Having been at Bruntingthorpe when she landed there what seems like many years ago, this is fantastic news. Well done to everyone involved with getting her back in the air:ok:

Hearty congrats.

Now, where did I leave that Victor?:ok:

Good Job...now they can remake "Thunderball"...again.

Lucky b:mad:gg:mad:r Thanks to Mr Bransons tiff with Sky there is no Sky in our house. I just hope Sir Richard gets his hand in his pocket to make up for it.
Be lucky
David
