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.
