Notes:
Not a dramatic take off pose - although it does look good. NEAM's Vulcan was tipped onto its tail by the weight of snow on the wings which fell overnight on the 8th/9th January. Pallets were used to support the nose wheel so it didn't crash back to the ground damaging the aircraft when the snow melted. A crane was brought in on 19th January to lower '319 slowly back onto all three undercarriage legs.
