  • Re: Out and about

    That's the point I was making. I think Middlesbrough will be the very last flight. I well remember seeing the Vulcans flying years ago and they were a bit spectacular then. I was pally with an RAF techie who worked on them at RAF Waddington and he tried to get me into the base for a closeup shufti but had no luck.

          Once did some navvying on a site at Bawtry just next to RAF Finningly weer the Vulcan wuz flown from. F.ckin ell! tekkin off regularly during the day, flying low overhead, the whole f.ckin joint used to shek. I used to dive fer the jack ammer ta get some peace n quiet!
          Bet the locals were ecstatic when Crab Air f.cked off fer good!

                Haven't decided whether to go yet Bob.It's being run by an organisation for ex soldiers,mostly UDR that's full of walters and scroungers,and I don't want to become linked with them.Got a few days yet before the deadline.

                            This may explain all the 'last flights'.
