@WalrusAircraft It's a pleasure knowing that this aircraft brings back happy memories for you. Also available is the XH558 Vulcan To The Sky version now and when I can I will download / share it.
As a child I remember the roar of this very loud plane as it made its last flight over my airport. Thanks for building this.
@KingDeadshot Thank you for that. BTW I recognise your name from my friends at Scottishjocks - they both say you are a very respected SP user in their opinion. So great to meet you and value your opinion :o)
@Fishbowl1121 Congratulations on being an excellent shot as well as being a great Simple Planes pilot :o)
