Vulcan still has to make a flight this year before she can display, she's VFR Rated only and as such must perform a flight before heading to any air displays (or so i believe), whilst not able to get to Biggin, i'll definately be at RIAT. so Vulcan has a few days to fly otherwise it misses Cosford Air Display...

So with all manpower rearing to get the job done the removal went quite quickly and smoothly. We also had Chris Collins back from Olympus to carry out the pre-installation inspections on the rest of our engines prior to the being fitted to the aircraft (whenever that may be!).
also just asked a friend and apparentley (however you spell that darned word, its late o'clock) she spent the day outside the hangar, so who knows....
