Rupert, come to the national and I'll lend you a Star Trek DVD, that way you can have the best of both worlds!

Where is she kept Rupert? - is this the Vulcan bomber that was rescued through public donation last year?

Hi Ian, I think it is one that I have worked on (many years ago).

All the best, Peter.

Go to the National then have a trip to The Museum of Flight at East Fortune (near Edinburgh) and view the Vulcan on permanent display.

I wonder where you worked on Vulcans Peter? I had the doubtfull pleasure of being a member of the tank team during majors at St Athan.

Both begin with the letter "V", both built like tanks and I've worked on both types too!
My claim to fame - I used to be a rivetter on the cockpit area of the fuselage when the B2 version noses were assembled at the Kingston factory of Hawkers, before they geared up for Harrier manufacture. Thats how I ended up with hands like those of the Boston strangler!
In the days when Britain was still Great and men had pride in working hard for the nation..... not just puny bean-counters and the likes.

Now where did I put that zimmer-frame?

Anyone know what B & B there is locally to the BKV, or alternatively, what the camping facilities are. I think we've still got a tent, but I'm not into roughing it unless there's hot showers and decent loos. (its an age thing you know!

How far in advance do you need to book camping, and the dinner/dance etc?
