The recent newsletter we received from the
Vulcan XH558 organization pointed out that the team is ahead in the schedule as
they strive to complete the winter service in good time to allow the wing
modification work to begin in earnest from the middle of January.
Last week
both ejection seats and the canopy were delivered enabling the aircraft to be
put up on jacks a good two working weeks ahead of plan. The time saved will
obviously help with getting the aircraft airworthy again early in the 2014
season, providing of course all things continue on track with no unexpected
issues arising.
XH558 now on jacks, awaiting work to begin on the wing modifications in 2014. The areas
affected are clearly seen as bare metal on either side. Picture courtesy of Toni Hunter.
