I saw a Vulcan at several air displays, mostly in the 1980's. It was a sight to see, as well as to hear/feel. The only plane I have every seen with the aura of the Vulcan is the B2, yet the Vulcan pre-dated the B2 by 30 years. I never had the chance to work on them while in the RAF, just boring old Nimrods for me There is a static display one at Coventry airport that you can look around on certain days, the cockpit was soooo small i'm 6'4 and ahem slightly lardy, couldn't get my fat arse in the pilots seat! |

A 767 caught fire on the ground a couple of days ago. The cause was apparently a fuel leak that was bad enough to be visible from an aircraft taxiing behind it.
I had a fuel leak once on a flight I was working while at the gate still, had to pull out the kitty litter to block the storm drain, big penalty if you have a leak and allow the fuel to get into the storm drain which drains into the harbor. A few hydraulic leaks as well but all on the ground. Never anything serious that involved passengers thankfully. Possible bomb in the Egypt accident? Appears there was no call from the pilots, and the debris is spread over 20km area suggesting it broke up in flight. Bomb could have downed Russian plane that crashed in Sinai desert, killing 224 people: Egyptian official | National Post |

So who would want to place a bomb on a Russian aircraft? Perhaps Syrians irritated at Russian intervention in support of Assad? :unsure:

The CAA is reportedly investigating whether the Vulcan made unauthorized aerobatic maneuvers during one of its final flights. ...... They were pretty spectacular though. :nod:

US/UK intelligence reports say it was an ISIL bomb. |
