ATTAK Z Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Here's some news: The Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTST) and Aviation Skills Partnership (ASP) have moved quickly to cement their new partnership by launching plans to create the Vulcan Aviation Academy and Heritage Centre at the home of the last flying Avro Vulcan – Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield. The concept is supported by a core group of founding partners which, alongside the main partners of VTST and ASP includes Peel Airports Group, Doncaster College and University Centre, Skypeople, Aviation Shake, The Spirit of Goole/Light Aircraft Association Educational Trust, Bond Bryan, NPS Group and WT Partnership.

Zeezeebaba Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Beautiful aircraft. I once knew a guy called Mike Biggs. He's long gone but worked as an aircraft engineer and had plenty of V bomber stories that fascinated me. He started out working with the famous Barnes Wallace and later on a secret project called the swallow. His job was the design of a wing pivot bearing for the swallow which at the time was a prototype swing wing jet. Funding for the project was cut and the design brief sold to the Americans who developed it further. He spent time after that on V bomber components and retired from the air industry having been involved in many innovations including ejector seats etc. I could listen to him speak for hours.
