Vulcan For Sale - Another One!!

[NeilD]

This is the one at Newark.. apparently not owned by the museum just on loan, but can be keep at the museum by the new owner.. would be a real shame to lose this especially as its one that you can get inside and up close to.. CFBC, clear all those Aussie Mossies from your loft and get your bid in!!!

Doesnt give the mileage.. watch out...

[NeilD]

well at least we know its not a 'cut n shut' job as it flew in to Newark !! :D

Neil.

[CFBC]

This would be a sad loss if it were moved away from Newark......

A very sad loss......

Right, whos in for this.....?

Donation time..... :) I know Mrs CFBC has all the money to buy it, but I know she won't lend me it either...... :(

[NeilD]

just tell her that she'll be able to sit in the drivers seat and start the APU.. thats enough to turn any girls head!!! :D

and of course she'd have the appreciation of all of us anoraks on here.. leer leer!!! :D

[CFBC]

Yeah, I was gonna put that on here before in my last posting, but I thought I would get some snide comments.......

It would be a sad loss though...... If it was to move...... Anybody know how much it cost them in the first place?

[NeilD]

no I dont know what the set up is.. apparently its not owned by the museum hence the bloke who does own it now deciding to sell it.. hopefully the museum can raise the cash to do a deal with him, but as always we dont know the background so they may've already gone through that.. real shame to move it as it arrived in one piece but obviously would have to leave in bits.. I've already put down for a day off work for next years cockpit day so hope it doesnt move off of site!
Neil.

[CFBC]

Yeah, have to agree with yer.... I was thinking about the Cockpit Day as long as it does not clash with an airshow as I think it did this year or something anyway......

Especially as you said you could SIT IN IT.... :(

[The Defiant Man]

The link is no longer working (item no longer on ebay...) :(

[CFBC]

Interesting... Wonder if someone has bought it or it's gine crazy like the last one did and will be re-listed????

I will investigate.....

[NeilD]

Neil,

Thanks for that. I had heard a rumour that they had, but my friend who helps run the LLA wqas not allowed to say anything until it had been finalised.... Thats good news... :)

[NeilD]

yep at least it means it stays at Newark.. dont forget cockpit-fest!!! just wondered in the members of the LLA were consulted before their subs were spent on a Vulcan?!! fien by me as I'm not (yet) a member (shame on me), just its the kinda thing that can cause friction if the members thourght their money was supporting the BBMF ??
Neil

[CFBC]

Put it this way... I am a member and I did not receive anything to say they were gonna buy it, but I would not hesitate to save such a beast that dwarfs all others at Newark Air Museum..... :D

[Craig]

Could it have been removed by the owner? To remain at Newark after all?

[planejunky]

Anyone know any more about the "other" ebay Vulcan? Last I heard it was getting rather nasty and the layers had been called in! :eek:
