Waddo confirms Vulcan appearance in July

Well now that the airshow season is getting ever close, the rumours of appearances at various places across the UK now start to slip out, and some get confirmed, as we've seen now with the confirmation on the Waddington Airshow website that XH558 is due to appear there.

Last week we saw that Abingdon will potentially get to see her first as on Sunday 8th May (Victory in Europe Day), she is down to appear in Oxfordshire, and I'm sure there will be thousands flocking there to get a glimpse.

Other confirmed appearances include RAF Cosford on the 12th June, and just before that an appearance at Douglas Bay in the Isle of Man on the 10th June.

The appearances are of course subject to weather and serviceability, and more importantly down to funding, and already an appeal is underway for the fuel of the Vulcan's first flight of the year - and 'packs' of fuel can be purchased for £40 to help the Vulcan get off the ground at the end of this month as she looks to head to her new home which is being kept under wraps at the moment.

There is also the Summer Season Plaque 2011 too, where you can get your name in the Bomb bay doors for the rest of her life, and also shout when the doors open during a mid air display, "I can see my name in there!" as you convince yourself that yes, you can actually see it from the crowd line!

 That is available to anyone that sets up a standing order for £5.58 per month, a paltry figure by any stretch to have something that you can boast proudly to friends and family, more details on that can be found here.

It's all good stuff, but remember that the team need to raise £350k by the end of May, already we have a total of £26k raised, and lets not forget that that was pretty much started at the same time as Comic Relief, so hopefully with that now out of the way, having raised a staggering £74m, then efforts can now be stepped up for the Vulcan appeal!

That's it for now...up the Vulcan!
