AE message AE ... With you on Fail Safe - unfortunately (and unjustly) overshadowed in popular memory by Dr Strangelove, IMO. ... and the name "(Villiers) Vindicator" was also used for the V-bomber in Thunderball (the novel at any rate - I can't remember whether it was named in the film, or whether the Vulcan just made an uncredited cameo appearance.) AE I don't think it was a Vulcan in Thunderball; I think it was the AE Valiant. AE Check out this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan It mentions that a Vulcan was used for the film.

I knew I had this image lying around somewhere... Repainted by its present owners, I assume (it would be a remarkable coincidence if it just happened to sport the same paint job as what would, 40 years later, become the last flying example of its kind!) -- Dave not-me should be djw001 and there's no need for any wossname
