What an astonishing achievement, and congratulations to everyone involved. I hope the rivet I paid for does its duty well in the many displays that lie ahead.

Just a perfect perfect day !!!

Hi James...

Basicly yes, but without the reheat. 558 uses 201 series which is slightly less rated that the 301 engined vulcans than flew Black Buck. :)
