Calling RAF fans: Avro Vulcan info
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 5, 2003 5:55 PM
Another potential "History You Can Model" article subject I'm toying with is the Avro Vulcan. It's a little dodgy because so far the only kit available right now appears to be the 1/72 Airfix. However, a bigger sticking point would be getting rights to a photo of a Vulcan to run with the article. Can anybody suggest a potential photo source?

Lawrence,

I have many photos of a Vulcan taken at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport, Louisiana. They have one on display there. Many different angles, including wheel wells, landing gear, etc. Unfortunately, no engines or cockpit shots, as those had been either removed or covered over. Let me know via the e-mail address below, and I'll make them available to you.
