      I’m aware the Vulcans have been scrapped, I was just memeing.

      I saw the Vulcan’s last flight as Cosford Airshow about 10 years ago. The sheer size of that aircraft flying overhead at under 100ft, the rumble and roar of the engines will stay with me for a lifetime. It was an awesome aircraft.

          Oh you lucky sod. The only old plane I got to look inside was the Lancaster based at RAF Scampton they use for memorial flights, still a another good aircraft but it’s no Vulcan.

          Also, good to meet a fellow former ATC Cadet in the wilds of the internet.

      OK, so maybe you can explain this, many things all over western Canada are naned for “Mount Pleasant”, a cemetery in Swift Current, a neighborhood in Vancouver, it pops up all over, and no one seems to know why, what or anything about the term, from old timers to Google.
