I read a while back that they found wiring in the bomb bay specifically installed to launch some kind of weapon that she never carried ( depth charges ? Anti submarine torpedoes...something very un-Vulcanish, anyway ). All that came out too.
Which FS9 Vulcan have you got, Tony ?
Blimey I am so happy this has happened.

Soooo... has anybody worked out yet how many VC10 tankers it would take to get her - plus the UK's last remaining 1,000lb bomb - over the Iranian nuclear centrifuges?
Come on Tonks - you know you want to!
