Vulcan's but where ?

All the V bombers were designed to fit in to a C hangar, saw three in a hangar at Waddington in 78 when I flew out of there in VC10.

As Canberra says above, indeed all the V bombers types were serviced in the C hangars at St Athan, Victors later moved into the D hangars.

Stevo where is your last pic taken at?

I would date them late 70's early 80's going on the markings on the Vulcans.

I would concur with that, the Vulcans have got the RWR tail fairings and nose nipple mods. One slightly odd thing is that one of the aircraft has the earlier coloured radome, but could have been a left over from stores..

I think Vulcans (alone as a V bomber in the 70s-80s) did still have a QRA dispersal plan well after they lost the nuclear deterant, they definatley used to turn up as a four ship to Mawgan on detachment excercises. I would guess this was in the conventional and tactical nuclear delivery role.

Bellamy,
Do you perhaps have a plan of Waddington to give me an overview of this field?

Sorry, I don't.
I was going through the Vulcan bases in order via Google Earth until I could match up the hedgeline between the dispersals when Stevo posted the location.

All the best,
