I seem to remember an on-line competition for which the prize was to spend a few days with the Vulcan groundcrew, and then get a front-seat ride in a Blades' 300 for a photo shoot.

My submission for the "Why I want to fly with the Blades" tie-breaker phrase was "Because I want to see if they manage to chew a few bits of each other. Again".

I suspect I might have p!ssed on my chips with that one.

Anyway, that was years ago. I understand there have been some significant changes to the line-up since then.

Nope! Pigs might fly but defunct banks don't!

It was on the local news this evening - would love to share to airspace (OK a big old chuck o' airspace) with the Vulcan!

Cheers
