I've got a bit of a list which I'm discussing with the other moderators (when Mike doesn't drift off to discussions on St Maarten
) plus some good ideas from Mark (Mighty Oz) from a PM discussion with him which got onto potential SPOTM subjects. If you have any good ideas please post them here and then in a month or so (I shall be away for first half of September) I am thinking of doing a poll of the submitted ideas and doing one or two 'members' choice subjects using the best one or two. So think away and also post any comments or questions that you have please.now the special comp with a prize!!! In a few weeks time the Vulcan will make it's last ever flight
and I've supported it for years and will miss it on the airshow circuit. I'm sure I won't be alone in that. I know it was originally military and still wears it's military markings (Lottery heritage fund requirement) but it's actually civilian registered G-VLCN so I can get away with this competition on here - the other mods thought it was a good idea. To mark the end of it's flying life I will shortly open a special photo competition for photos of the Vulcan taken since the return to flight in 2007 to run until the end of October, after the final flight has taken place. The winners will then be decided by a poll as per our other competitions (if there are more than 50 entries then I will have to work out how to do a larger poll
!). I am donating a prize for the winner of a canvas print of the winning photo, the size will be up to 600mm x 400mm. I may have to restrict the prize to UK, Northern Ireland and Ireland unless the company I use will deliver further than that , they are based in Germany so I hope they will at least do mainland europe if we have a winning entry from outside the British Isles, I have asked them about this so will hopefully know the answer soon.
If this is a successful special competition I may even do another in the future
