That's a great picture, David, and somehow the denim jacket, grey shirt and the green based kilt tartan co-ordinate nicely with the 'plane's camouflage scheme!

My day in charge of the Vulcan guided tours today.
Not kilted due to much climbing up and down the ladder
The re-activation of the Vulcan's own compressed air system, by connecting an air bottle, has made opening and closing the hatch so much easier and enabled this static gate guardian to be opened on Sunday afternoons as a visitor attraction in her own right.

My duties finished for the day, before going home I flew a couple of circuits in Romeo Bravo, seen here in today's early evening sunshine with some of the museum warbirds in the background.

Yes, for many years during the cold war the Vulcan was kept as a deterrent. There were over a hundred of them and they could carry a twenty ton nuclear bomb or twenty conventional one ton bombs. The only time the Vulcans were used in anger was at the end of their career, in the Falklands War.
