It was a fantastic day, especially as for the last three years, they have not managed the second taxi - the "fast taxi" - due to technical problems. The engines in this Vulcan are rated 20000 lb ft thrust - and are more powerful than those in XH558 (the one that flies) which are rated 17000 lb ft thrust - and they make an awesome sound under full chat - spine tingling in fact.
Unfortunately XM655 will never fly, but is maintained in almost flying condition and is an immense credit to the small band of "Chaps" who look after it. It lives outside all year round as well!!
The car display was also surprising good!!!
