Happy New Year

Happy 2010, Vulcan devotees! Let us keep our fingers-crossed for all surviving Vulcans not least for XH558 which we hope to see on the 2010 airshow circuit. Being custodians of one of the other two 'live' Vulcans, we wish 655 MaPS all the very best in continuing to preserve XM655 in such fine condition and finally we hope that you will be able to support the VRT and its ongoing efforts to preserve XL426 at Southend.
