Unfortunately not allowed in the cockpit as it has ejection seats (for the pilot and co-pilot at least) :smiley:

I think it is something like 4 years at current usage. Not totally sure mate www.vulcantothesky.org my have the answers you're looking for. :smiley:

As the first of the B2 Avro Vulcans she is 105ft long x 111ft wingspan. So yes pretty big. Normally has 5 crew housed between the front of the windscreen and the Panther on the side on 2 levels.

You've got me there Wayne but I think it prudent not to let Joe public loose in the cockpit of the last flying Vulcan.
Anyway she is on TV as I type. Military History channel. Repeated tomorrow at 2:00am, 8:00am and 2:00pm. :congrats:
