Good call Piers - about the engine!
Flying the Vulcan, though, was the absolute pits when I was a young
pilot. It was rather limiting in career terms and a copilot would
spend his first tour learning to control the fuel balance around the
aircraft... but they went many places around the world and could carry
fridges and other duty-free booty back from cheap places (in the bomb
bay, if there was no extra fuel tank installed).

Agreed, Gareth, there are some very interesting viewpoints around a
Vulcan.
For fear that bystanders observe that we are off-topic, I must point
out
that Concorde uses a development of the engines designed for Vulcan,
which
are (of course) Bristol ...
