Is that Vulcan at Sunderland, now hemmed in by the Nissan factory complex?

Shiraz?

Well she pranged Shiraz. Did she bomb a different place?

Lars has it, an Akrotiri based Vulcan had a gear hang up landing at Shiraz in May 1973, I was posted to Aircraft Repair Flight on 103MU in June 1973 and a small working party were on site in Shiraz recovering engines and electronic items, so I missed that job.

Interesting unit, there were 28 people on ARF, mainly we just played volley ball all day waiting for something to happen, jobs that I carried out were a repair to an F4 that nosed into the sand dunes at Akrotiri on landing, rebuilding a F6 Lightning side fuselage following an engine fire, a Canberra nose up repair in Malta and many Lightning and C130 fuel tank leaks. As I recounted somewhere else on here I was part of a team sorting out a TU104 crash at Nicosia in December 1973.

I digress, Lars has three greens.

Open house

Seeing we are into Vulcan's, where is this one?

The a/c in the background give a hint or two.

Castle Air Museum, Atwater, California perhaps?

DBx is ready for take off.

Thanks Ian. How about this then:

Poland?

Sorry, not Poland Ex-A.

Is that a pumping station disguised as a church?

No it's not, 4mast.

Hospital Chapel at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Neltley Southampton UK

Correct as always om.

Good morning, thank you.

This may be familiar to some,

UK Perhaps?

Silverstone?

You will note the two enemy flags in front of the building, this commune has links with HG Wells, cycling and Canadian nurses.
