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.

Bit of a hike and a busy weekend for me too!! But as it's the 10th
Anniversary, they want me there.

I believe it was grounded due to lack of funds, but I am assured by the
secretary who organizes the day, that it is coming ;-) weather permitting,
so they must have dug deep into a few pockets. Let's hope someone is out
shaking the buckets ;-) (Might be an idea to have words with the Treasurer
and suggest it ;-)
