Is anyone else having probs getting onto the TVOC Web site ?. I keep getting Reeds Rains estate agents?. Perhaps they need TB to fix their web site (Host it ?)  ;D That would be good, we'd have to change the name to " The Omega and Vulcan Owners forum"  ;D ;D ;D Sorry, flights of fancy again!.

I don't fancy doing the breathers on a Vulcan though!

Wonder if you can connect Tech 2?

Great video, shame the Sky camera man's not very good at tracking real aircraft !. Now if they would only restore a couple of Lightnings and the TSR2, then life would be sweet.

Splendid!  The bbc one was brief in the extreme though.

tradgedy they didn't manage to keep a Concorde flying - give it 10 years or so and maybe we'll get one restored :y

Amazing sight and what a NOISE!  Saw one flying when I was a youngster - unforgettable just for the shear size of it & the speed it can climb.  Great to see it up in the skys again.
