Have noticed in the media the past few days the resurrection of a Vulcan bomber by spotters, it seems (in time for 25th anniversary) we are to be subjected to the Crabs crowing again about how they won the Falklands war with a single bombing mission (see 'Cockpit' article a few years ago). We must fight this, much in the fashion of the other reports last week of how the RN won the Battle of Britain.....
Fantastic aircraft all that power and noise. Can't wait til I hear those words again.
VULCAN ZERO ONE RUNNING IN TO DISPLAY.
At the end of the day everybody won this battle that battle from the cook to the guy bringing the ammo up front in his/her wagon.
Not the bootie or para all on his own!!!
The fly past is not a look at us we did it all. If the Vulcan ,Lanc, Spitfire and Hurricane flypast brings a bit of pride back to the country then so be it.
There are many who have never wore a uniform but who get great joy at seeing a fly past. And they dig deep for the armed forces charities at those air shows.
Let us not forget the Atlantic Conveyor. And all the other cogs in the machine.
Namely the medical corp people.
In the end it was the lottery and a footlall club owner who saved the Vulcan from the scrapman. Not spotters!!
I would sooner the lotto money went on this iron bird than the fecking opera for the knobs in London and the gay liberation fecking front!!
