Very nice! I do hope that they can get the money together to keep it flying.

Our little team really would need just a tiny fraction of the Vulcan's budget to get our historically important (wooden) aircraft project in the air - http://www.cometracer.co.uk

That's a nice aeroplane, Colin..was it a fore-runner to the Rapide?

Similar engines, but that's really about all they have in common. More the forerunner to the Mosquito in many people's minds, but it's really a very simple aircraft. Just happens to be the first British aircraft with a retracting undercarriage, flaps and a variable pitch props.
