K-7 for a steal
...Was on the phone to my dad last night, can't remember where he said it was now but there is a classic car show coming up soon and the Vulcan will be there doing fast taxis and getting the nose off the ground :
Interesting Gareth. Sounds a bit like Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold, but there's no way that 558 would touch the ground there. She should be back to full flying status around May or June.
There is a second Vulcan, XL426 which lives at Southend airport which up until a few years ago did fast taxis and is currently being brought back to taxiing status. I wonder if it is her.
And a trip to Cormwall ain`t all that bad,just don`t go down (or is it the return journey) via Plymouth because of the toll on the bridge.

(By the way its free to get into Cornwall. As of this morning, tolls were raised by 50% to £1.50 for the bridge and ferry. The A30 is free but usually has an overturned caravan on the single carriageway section at temple, especially on Saturday.)

Assuming it's a good'un then expect me to be advertising his current mint/boxed GX20 and grip in the classifieds very soon...
I suspect what helped was the fact that the seller was insisting on pick up only
