Some interest in a #Vulcan 'groundcrew' item posted in another place - that we thought we'd share here a few more 'crew' photos from the #NAMarchive

As promised here are a few more pictures from the #Vulcan #XM594 delivery day in 1983 (07.02.83)

On this date 42 years ago (07.02.83) at 1315 hours or Avro #Vulcan #XM594 made its final landing as it joined our collection! Today's weather was very similar, very cold but without the snow! #BskyVForce
More later!!
We're not sure about the date listed for the #Vulcan flypast given that it's wearing early tri-colour roundels, but those low flypasts were a regular feature as per the #Hastings photo - 42 year anniversary tomorrow for our #Vulcan #XM594 landing at Winthorpe! 😉
