Rumours circulating in the village suggests that there may
be plans to buy a Vulcan bomber on Ebay, following today's
Sunday Times article (reproduced below).
Nobody knows who is behind this
fantastic scheme, or what is going to be done with the
bomber when it gets here from Blackpool. Some
sources say that the plan is to build a gantry over the
main road, fix the bomber to the top of it, and hope this
will act as a traffic calming vehicle for the village. Sources
close to the Parish Council say that this is a load of
nonsense, but then again, they could be hiding their cards
and not telling us the full story.
And the Youth Club has been
mentioned as wanting to place it in the recreation ground
for the village's kids to use as a giant climbing frame.
Nick Davies, chair of the Youth Club, said it was news to
him. However, he said he thought it was a great
idea, and that whoever was going to tow it down from
Blackpool was an inspiration to the village. He sensibly
added that whoever is responsible really ought to liaise
with police along the route, as it would be a wide load
and could possibly cause some congestion.
So, the mystery remains. If
anyone can throw any light on it, please email the webmaster. |
