Blimey.. I got a HU for this last week and forgot about it (still sitting there in my holiday mail) :roll: I believe they have a 'live' cam there so if you pop onto their site and you don't see 558.. you'll know things are getting serious ;-)

Its news tinged with sadness that whilst XH558 has received its overhaul & is once again about to fly, XM603 at Woodford is to be scrapped.
Here
http://www.tvoc.co.uk/gallery.asp are some short video clips from the Vulcan to the Sky Trust's website that may bring some cheer, for what has been & what will be, including XM603's last 'switch off'
'Hanger Cam' is here
