I REALLY want vulcans

It's really only a personal whim, but I would like one. Any model considered. Preferably with harpoints for Nuclear missiles (the ones they had BEFORE the Yanks stopped the program for the weapon its on the tip of my tounge oh, well, cannot remember). Anything complete considered.

Mh, there's about a 50/50 chance of Walmington ending up with a wide range of V-bombers- or rip-offs there of, but even if I decide to advance us that far, I'm afraid we can't help for weeks, maybe months RL time.

Unless you want early WWII rip-off aircraft ;)

(Hearing WoS say that makes me feel a little guilty for advancing Iansislean technology so quickly. Oh well - my original advancment plan called for space shuttles and personal computers by now, so I'm actually a bit behind ;))

I've got ICBMs, but, unfortunately, am in love with anything with wings, made from 1914 to around the 1980s. I like modern jets and aircraft less.
I love everything Avro as well....Lancaster, manchester was good looking, but the vulture engines let it down, Anson was good, but the Vulcan, I need one to add to the Imperial Historical Air fleet

You weren't actually planning on calling them like that, were you?

Ok i now have upgraded Vulcans in production (Model Number B3CF) but i can custom produce a small number of original B1 and B2 varients (the B2 was the main service one). The missile hard points still existed on the B2 it just so happened that after the Skybolt program was cancelled the mountings were used for other things such as ECM pods and conventionals tand off weapons (like shrike which wa sused sucessfully in the falklands).

An custom biult original will likely set you back $250million

One of my upgraded modern versions (i too wanted a bomber i can throw around the sky like a fighter) will set you back $210million (cheaper because it's massed produced and uses more modern materials).

No Vulcans, but we can flog you some new built Victor 4's (basically the same airframe as the RW Victor, but with upgraded avionics, engines and defensive counter measures for the rediculously low price of £35mil each. (State controlled industry lower overheads and no profit margin to worry about).

They come in four sub varients-
4a Standard bomber same as RAF Mk2
4b Tanker version, hard point refueling fitted as standard
4c Flying missile plateform, can carry Tomahawks and our new 'Blue Flash' series of cruise missiles (up graded blue streak / blue steel weapons)
4d Maritime patrol, reccie version less weapons, more fuel.

Also we can sell you Sea Foxes (upgraded sea Vixens), Bucceneers, VC10 command posts and Canberra reconocence bombers. Telegram for price.
