Vulcan XH558
Yesterday at RAF Cosford XH558 flew again and what an incredible sight it was...
Well done to Vulcan to the sky and all who supported them. This plane must keep flying, it's what it was made to do.

Vulcan XH558
I have written before about Vulcan XH558 and the Vulcan to the Sky Trust and was really pleased when I read that the old girl has been test flying over the last week and with great success.
Then I spotted this piece on the BBC, it's entitled "Symbol of destruction takes to the air" and is quite a mean-spirited article including the line "The debate over whether a symbol of destruction should be restored will continue".
The BBC proud to hate anything British. Thank heavens they have so little knowledge of history that they don't know about the Vulcan's mission to bomb the runway at Port Stanley airport during the mission to retake the Falklands. Do read the book Vulcan 607 for the fascinating story of this mission.

They did it
I remember twice seeing a Vulcan bomber flying when I was but NotaLambMaybeaKid and each time thought it looked fantastic. I have seen the Vulcan at Duxford, a wonderful looking plane and you can get so close to it. I recently read Vulcan 607, about the mission to bomb the runway at Port Stanley airport during the mission to retake the Falklands, a real story of derring do and logistics.
However the big story is that the Vulcan to the Sky people did succeed and got XH558 back in the air, and back down again, this week. You can see video footage of this here and here. Whilst I am in the mood here are some more video clips of XH558 in earlier times here and here and here and here and other Vulcan footage here and here.
Read a news article here.
I am a bit of a Vulcan fan as you can tell.
