Default OT but of interest to ex RAF urglers

Ex RAF erks will be interested to know that this year's massive parade at
RAF Cosford with the RAF Band on Sunday 20th May, will, subject to the
weather, have a fly past of the Avro Vulcan Bomber. It is due at Alrewas
Forces Memorial during the unveiling of the Falkland's Memorial at 12.45
and it is being diverted to the RAF Cosford parade either 3 minutes before
on its way there, or 3 minutes later on its way back.

At 1300, the Battle of Britain Lancaster Bomber will give not just a fly
past, but a display as well.

I'd love to go Mike, but it's a fair old hike. I didn't know there was still
a Vulcan flying. I know one was got up and flyng again but I thought it was
grounded for lack of maintenance funds? Next to Concord, must be the most
amazing plane.
