Only 3 days left to keep this bird in the air. Come on, do your bit, you know it makes sense!

Was stripping parts from XJ823 at Carlisle last week for this bird. It's a great cause as anyone who's had the pleasure of seeing it airborne will happily testify.

Indeed Gilly, let's hope it will stay in the air. We've already lost the Concorde and the Harrier.

Cheers McQ.

indeed. Rooney's small change could keep the Vulcan flying!

Hope you're well mate. See you at Duxford redux next year!
