LOOP News![]() 26 JUN 07: VULCAN MISSESEngineers have been working flat-out to solve the last remaining issues on the Vulcan, service number XH558, which is being worked on at Bruntingthorpe airfield. "It was our hope that restoration work would have been concluded in time to enable XH558 to participate in the Falklands commemorative events,' said Dr Robert Pleming, CEO of the Vulcan To The Skies Trust. "But we have had a delay in the return of one set of critical-to-flight components from overhaul. "It is therefore doubtful that XH558 will be flying in time for the Falklands commemoration on 17 June. However all other aspects of the work are proceeding to plan. For example, this week will see the Vulcan's landing gear being reinstalled and the aircraft returned to her wheels." The aircraft still has to undergo CAA checks to be sure it's airworthy and can participate in public flying displays. W: www.tvoc.co.uk | |||||||
