Yup, been looking forward to that, both my missus and I put a tenner towards this day a few years back (before they got the lottery funding). I used to love that thing at airshows, it was so noisy you could hear car alarms and babies crying all over the airfield after its routine. Even went in one once, tiny cockpit which you get to via a hatch in the floor in between the seats, I remember smacking my head on something really hard when I did that!

The Vulcan is truly a wonderful plane.

The secret star of "James Bond: Thunderball".

I remember from the backyard of my memory that there also was a decent flightsim module for the Vulcan available.

Edit: correction, apparently three attempts have been made at the Vulcan since FS8.

This seems to have been the most advanced, video available at the bottom of the site : http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=61

What an excellent achievment. Good job.

It's nice to see a piece of history not being sent to the junk heap.
