    A fantastic achievement. I made a point of dropping some dosh at the last two GTI shows and have also visited on other occasions. I wish I had been there. Now to get Just Jane NX611 back in the air.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdrTmwkGZeQ . Let the clip play for 15 seconds! After the take-off an interview begins. The Sky News interviewer is obviously not an aircraft enthusiast...

    Perhaps with the way the Russians have been acting lately, we should send it in their direction!!!
    Really lovely to see one in the air again.

    I did a track day at Bruntingthorpe last year but didn't have the time to drop into the hangar and have a look. I've followed the progress on their web site since I read Vulcan 607 and was delighted to see they've succeeded, particularly as it all came so close to folding at one point.
