Well, £350,000 needed by 31st May. (it can be done!)

First I heard of todays relocation was on BBC South Today. Most folk on the VTTS forum are miffed at not being notified of the move to Doncaster (Finningley). But the gist is, that Airport authorities and plod didn't want roads blocked, etc.

All in all, it's good news as that area is closer to real Vulcan country, and 558 operated from there. I'll miss seeing her at Brize though... :(

Now all we need is to see her re-painted white!
