Merchandise

Latest addition: XM655 at Wellesbourne DVD. After a false start at the end of last year, we are now able to offer this DVD which was launched at the Thunder Run on June 18th. It has been produced exclusively for 655 MaPS by Intelligent Television and Video Ltd. The company has a background of producing videos of Commercial Airliners including the official Concorde video. A look at their website will show the diversity and quality of their work. The DVD has been produced by them in a sponsorship package and we are most grateful for their support. The DVD contains interviews with the aircrew who explain their background with the Vulcan and their continuing interest in the aircraft. A detailed external "walk round" by the crew who are accompanied by ex Concorde captain Dave Rowland is followed by Squadron Leader David Thomas explaining the function of the pilots instrumentation. Squadron Leader Andy Marson then does an equally good job of explaining the work of the rear crew members. Action footage of the aircraft includes clips of the delivery flight by Squadron Leader Joe L'Estrange in February 1984 and of the high speed taxi run in 2005 with shots from an onboard camera which have not been seen previously. Engineers working on the aircraft, including undercarriage retraction tests are also featured on the DVD. Running for 1 hour and 20 minutes it provides a unique insight into the "Wellesbourne" Vulcan.

Most of our merchandise is sold only on the stall at each taxi run event but a small number of items are available via mail-order as listed above. We can't accept credit or debit cards, so cheques or postal orders only please, payable to 655 MaPS, to the address below. Don't forget to include your address!
