23/08/2014 The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians Visit

The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians flew into Wellesbourne from all over the UK to visit XM655.

Nick Dennis, an ex-Vulcan Pilot and regular member of our aircrew, came along for the day to help out and kindly agreed to do the cockpit tours.

We started by giving a systems demonstration, which had a sketchy start as the Houchin Ground Power Unit had some problems, however Top Gun (Ben) managed to get things sorted and the Vulcan was able to give everyone a little wave.

The Volunteers took various positions around the aircraft and spent time with our guests showing off their specialist knowledge (or just proving to the general public that we are all just a bunch of Vulcan geeks!)

Then came the photo call before the group had to make their way back to their own aircraft to make their journey home.
