Anybody else going to the Wellesbourne Wings and Wheels this Sunday 21st June? The Vulcan will do a slow taxii in the morning and a fast one in the afternoon. There is normally a good collection of classic cars and its not every rally that you get a chance to be blown over by 4 Olympus 301 engines.

See you there?

Got to be there. 655 always sounds tasty.
Excellent to see 558 making a racket over Cosford, a great achievement getting her airworthy again.
Port Stanley 1982 anyone?

There's a slim chance I'll be there. Might not be able to take the 71 pickup as it's not got enough seats for the family...

Just heard this - I will be there whatever. Al
Today we recieved a letter from Rolls Royce stating their concern with engine corrsion on the Olympus engines fitted to all operating Vulcans. The letter was also sent our local authority who paid us a visit today. The local authority is naturally concernded about a possiable engine failure during a taxi run and we are working with them to try and resolve the matter. Therefore XM655 MAY not be running on Sunday. If 655 does not run the aircraft will be on static display with system check's being carried out during the day. As you can imagine we at Maps are very disappointed but SAFTEY HAS TO COME FIRST.
