Trying to identify a truck used in the lord mayors parade around 1967. I have a pic but not 100% sure I can upload it
-
Was there last week and it was out in the car park looking absolutely splendid!
-
just a loud noise like an explosion or rumble of thunder?
-
anyone hear a loud noise in Stocksbridge about half an hour ago?
-
not the one he controlled. that was XM655
-
Certainly not a great amount of space compared to the size of the aircraft! Here are the steps up to XM655's Cockpit at Wellesbourne Airfield (incidentally the one used in that programme with Guy Martin) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v692/andyrad/ladders_zpsfz1dahny.jpg Well worth going there to see one of the fast taxi runs they do with her
-
brill stuff! and here's myself in the cockpit...think it was 50p to have a look in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v692/andyrad/391_zpsrh8qnk5u.jpg such a shame how 391 ended up :(

Ten Sheffield beautiful buildings
andyrad29 replied to Hecate's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The River Don building on brightside lane, such an imposing structure. would have loved to have been around to see it in its heyday. anyone know if its still in use? -
Channel tunnel problems! caused by the illegal migrants.

likwise if there was no immigrant then the job would have gone to the unemployed person and would be 0% unemployment -
Watching Vulcan take off / flight times 2015
andyrad29 replied to Skink's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It isnt the only one left there are 14 others preserved in museums iirc. XH558 based at Doncaster is the only Airworthy one left. 2 others are kept "live" and do fast taxy runs, one at Southend (XL426) and one at Wellesbourne Mountford airfield (XM655) I'm off to Blackpool airshow on the 9th August just to see the Vulcan ---------- Post added 01-08-2015 at 08:58 ---------- Here is the Wellesbourne one doing its fast taxy which i filmed in June this year...she just wants to get airbourne! ---------- Post added 01-08-2015 at 09:01 ---------- For anyone going to Doncaster you wont get a take off like this but this is just what she is capable of!
