Rob, where was the Vulcan flying over in that superb pic, do you know? I wonder if the other Old Timer they may get flying is a Shack?
It's a great pic isn't it? One of the best Vulcan shots I've seen. The town below is Carterton in Oxfordshire, if the pic extended another two or three inches to the right, it would have included RAF Brize Norton.
A restored Shackleton would be good, I think there are two still more or less airworthy, and several it might be possible to resurrect if funds were available, which of course they never will be. There's one in South Africa and one based in Coventry that only does occasional taxies, but I think I heard somewhere that this one is being restored with a view to flying. Two I'd like to have seen were a Mosquito and a Sunderland, though none of the latter are surviving outside museums now. I live just outside Poole, and Sunderlands used to land and take off in Poole Harbour, it must have been a wonderful sight to see, though of course there was a war on. If that was tried today, they'd sink thousands of moored small boats, the insurance bill would be astronomical. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a Victor though.
