That's awesome! I'd be all over that bad boy with no one else around.

There's a Vulcan lying around unattended  at Carlisle airport too!!

Todd, where about is that Vulcan ?

[Captain Canada]

SAC Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. Lots of goodies in there !

Have you seen the one at Gander?

[TheChronicOne]

There's also a Vulcan in Louisiana at Barksdale.  Just how many are there? 

Just saw this one out on the Aviation Wrecks and Relics Page (Imagine that!)

I would find it amusing to learn that there are more Vulcans in the U.S. or even North American than the U.K.

I was thinking the same myself too!

A little update for the map Mark. The T-33 in Leduc, Alberta has been painted and moved, over to Fred Johns Park. Still in Leduc and only a few minutes down the road.

53°15'40.8"N 113°33'50.7"W

Where did that T-33 come from?

The knight's head badge on the nose looks remarkably like a smaller version of the one carried by Ormond Haydon-Baillie's 'Black Knight' T-33 that he flew on the UK show circuit many years ago.

It's an ex-RCAF example. Was rescued from a field here in Alberta decades ago, and restored by local Air Cadets. The Black Knight was also the 414 Squadron badge. Must be some relation there

Wow, thanks!  Nice pic.  Map updated.

Ahah, perhaps OH-B flew with 414?

He seems to have had a lot connections with Canada, even though he was British. Both his T-33 and Sea Fury were originally Canadian and both had Canadian reggies at one time.

Nice pic Todd   

When were you in Alberta, Leduc isn't far from my place.

OK, chaps, here is this list of Vulcan survivors

The whole thunder and lightnings website is worth a moment or two of your time.

I have had that bookmarked for awhile.  Very interesting and useful site.
