One Canberra, one Lightening. two holes in the ground. Glad to hear there are organizations that apparently can. This crowd palpably cannot.

Would be very interested to know where the engineering and all the other backup for especially the Vulcan comes from. That's a hell of a lot of Aeroplane. BAE perhaps? Where do you find all the people with the right skills? And who is qualified at a regulatory level to oversee ex mil high performance aircraft flying in civvy street.

And all this just down the road from where they were manufactured.

Good Grief is this the PPrune Military forum or an extension of the girl guides discussion board !! - Hey its a military jet designed to drop bombs and kill people!!! - including the pilot if you screw up. Its only a plane needs fuel and oil- i hate to alarm you people who think breathing is dangerous but 2000 people were killed on UK roads last year thats 30 odd a day but do you stop driving ?

Wussers! I'm a Continuing Airworthiness Management specialist, by profession but I'd be willing to give up body parts for a trip in it. :)

It's the same outfitt operating it as before except privately rather than commercially. I wouldn't go up in it and I worship at the alter of the mighty Buccaneer.

4 out of 3 people admit to being poor at fractions

Apology
 
Sorry that's 5.47 people killed every day

More like division than fractions I would have thought.:D


2000 divided by 365 = 5.48 in leap year 5.46 per day:*


Just trying to work out 4 out of 3 people:confused:

When Vulcan crew set off East they knew that, if it was for real, there would be no reason to come home as home, families etc no longer existed.

That does deserve respect.
