LOOP News![]() 9 NOV 07: VULCAN FLIES!The British-built Vulcan's four Olympus engines blasted the aircraft, XH558, into the air for perfect take-off and a 20-minute flight. It was flown by Squadron Leader Al McDicken, who said, "She was an absolute delight, every bit as good as I can remember. It was a tremendous privilege to fly it again. We were suitably aroused. It's 25 years almost to the day that I last flew one. It was just wonderful." The aircraft was the last Vulcan to leave the RAF. Its last flight was to Bruntingthorpe in 1993, and the £6 million restoration project started four years later. W: www.tvoc.co.uk | |||||||
