Just seen this over at the register, and thought folks here may apreciate it

the haynes owners guide to the Avro Vulcan
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/23/vulcan_manual/
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Magic!  ;D

A 'must have' if ever there was one.

'The Avro Vulcan B2 has four Bristol Siddley Olympus engines but no gearbox or transmission, and thus does not have a gear lever either.....'  -_-
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That could come in handy: we've got a Vulcan on the field at Woodford and the standing joke is that administatively, it belongs to the motor pool, so if you could ever find and fill out the right form, you could take it out for an afternoon's bombing. I can think of a few places I'd like to visit......  :wacko:

Bringing it back with the tanks full might be a bit pricey though.... :o :rolleyes:
