RAF Leuchars

[Guest]

rotest:Hiya all did anyone go to RAF Leuchars at the weekend? what did you think? I know the weather wasn`t good but did anyone feel let down by the vulcan not taking off? I did I mean it could have at least took off and landed again after all the hype money(DONATIONS) this was surpossed to be it`s last flight I feel CHEATED!

The reason for the grounding can be found HERE

Got to RAF Leuchars section on the right hand side. An engine is on the way out, now and needs replacing....looks like more shows to be missed....they're having a few problems all round, it seems.

Andyroo, they are training another pilot to fly the thing, surely it'll be in the air a while longer yet?!!

It has just had a DOUBLE engine change, as it is based at Brize Norton at the time being, due to facilities, and has flown at least 10-15 times in the last 2 months!

Really gutted that you guys arn't getting to see it as much, especially having donated to it!
