.. also bet they'd never heard that Vulcan scream before either .... a wonder they didn't just pack up and sod off home after that

.... must be some printer ... here's the printer head and nozzle Was that the 1 where they had to scabble together parts for repair it?did anyone watch the prog. the other night on the Vulcan bomber's mission to destroy Port Stanley's airfield runway, in the Falklands ...
what a great watch ..
amazing and daring plan ..
13 Victor tankers to refuel it enough times to get from the Ascension Islands, the 16,000 miles, there and back ...
tankers refuelling tankers to stay with the Vulcan, to go the distance, with the last one needing a refuel on the way home, together with the Vulcan too
Bet the Argies were .... " where the **** did that come from??? "
that was the one .... had a refuelling nozzle in the mess they were using as an ash tray
and had to refit all the mid air refuelling equipment to them -- had been removed as it was such a nightmare to achieve .. got two Vulcans ready to fly to Ascensions .. lead one failed about three minutes after take off for the Falklands and the standby had to complete the mission ... 16 hrs + in the air ..... on their way home, the co-pilot said he'd never seen a Vulcan still aloft with so little fuel on the gauges ..... and then the tanker swung into view, for them ...... was some audacious mission, fair play.
Absolutely utter class that. Operation Black Buck?did anyone watch the prog. the other night on the Vulcan bomber's mission to destroy Port Stanley's airfield runway, in the Falklands ...

As it happenes, I knew a guy who was stationed on the Ascension Islands at the time. It was the most activity he saw for his entire posting!
hope it is not a H.P. printer. Can only use HP cement..3D-printed apartment building provides affordable housing in Germany
3D-printed construction continues to grow in popularity worldwide, and the latest example is an ambitious new low-rise apartment building in Germany. The project will incorporate cutting-edge 3D printing technology – as well as timber – and will be used to provide affordable social housing.

Followed Vulcan to the sky project for years ..
Saw last flight
Time I watched that again was it a program or documentary? Don't watch any "normal" TV only watch YT.
In a similar vein there is a great book called Phoenix Squadron which chronicles a long-range ‘against the clock’ mission of HMS Ark Royal rushing to get air cover over British Honduras to repel a Guatemalan invasion in 1972. Everything was working beyond known limits - it’s a great read!did anyone watch the prog. the other night on the Vulcan bomber's mission to destroy Port Stanley's airfield runway, in the Falklands ...

yeh the Vulcan pilots said they arrived to a scene of frenetic activity and Victor tankers everywhere .... and all that fuel must've been flown in too at a guess .... considering the time scale they were working to it was a fantastic achievement to have it (a) all in place
HP cement is great stuff - don't knock it.
that's the one
deffo not if you're some dull pr*ck eco-protesting, blocking the road
