The Nightmares as a club were invited to bring some cars down to Southend airport today for the vulcan open day. This was so the Vulcan Restoration Trust could raise money to get the vulcan into state of high speed taxi. We obliged seeing as it is a Retro plane. Heres some photos.

Whoa! That "under the plane" shot is EXCELLENT! Surely an ideal campaign poster for this site!
Now all we need is a race between a Vulcan and Nightmare's van! ;D

Now all we need is a race between a Vulcan and Nightmare's van! ;D Could be a close race too. Vulcan wieghs 60-70 tonnes and could do 0-60 in 3 seconds.

FANTASTIC photo!!
I've got a photo somewhere of me in the fuselage of XM655 at Wellesbourne Airfield near Stratford. The plane's enormous but you're right about the cockpit, it's tiny!!

XH558 flew over my house during the Farnborough Airshow the other week, within what felt like touching distance It was THE most incredible sight, absolutely made my week. The Airbus A380 was massive, the B-1 bomber was ear-splittingly loud but the Vulcan was just something else ;D Great pics, the cars look cracking too.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

XH558 flew over Billng XL426 is at Southend airport, it is a fully functional plane but will never be allowed to fly again unless it has 4 new engines, CAA rules apparantly.

XL426 is at Southend airport, it is a fully functional plane but will never be allowed to fly again unless it has 4 new engines, CAA rules apparantly. Sounds about right - the CAA regs are VERY tight e.g. compulsory rebuilds / full recon (by certified engineers) after specified numbers of hours & that's just for light aircraft!
