I must admit that it would be nice to see one of the original five silver straight-wing Vulcans before they started doing funny things to the wings...

You need to be do better research that dodgy wikis...I've been researching the early Vulcans for over five years and the shape and colour of the early Vulcans is well documented...

I've been fascinated by the Vulcan for over 60 years now and know that the sources I quoted are sufficiently correct. Tell me something I don't know rather than just iterating what I have already cited adequately enough. Oh, and if you want a kinked wing don't first ask for a straight one Incidentally for anyone who can't (or quite likely won't) identify the fact, my first post in this thread was intended to to be humourous (or should that be humorous - and if that then surely it should be humoros - shouldn't it ) |
