Guy Martin: Self - Presenter

Quotes 

• [in 1992, the RAF sold off the last airworthy Vulcan, XH558, and it was bought for £25,000 by a private owner] 

  Guy Martin : Twenty-five thousand pounds! You do think, initially "God. Pay £25,000 and get a Vulcan bomber. Great." But then you've got to think "How am I gonna explain that to the missus".

• Shaun Dooley - Narrator : Instructions for what to do *after* dropping a bomb varied.

  Guy Martin : We've got a quotation from an Andrew Brook - he was a Vulcan pilot. And he was told "Keep flying east and hope to settle down with a nice warm Mongolian woman". Nothing to come back to.

• [as planned, Mike Pollitt deliberately aborts a takeoff in a Vulcan which is not airworthy to take off; this involves lifting the nose-wheel off the ground, letting the wing act as a brake, and then lowering the wheel to the ground again] 

  Guy Martin : I think that was a little bit more than a wheelie!

• [the Vulcan has just landed after its final flight] 

  Guy Martin : I hope you filled your boots because that's it. That's it! She's never going again.
