Holt and District Probus Club
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The Feathers in Holt hosted the first meeting in 2020 of Holt and District Probus Club on 2nd January. The club chairman, John Mangan, presented an illustrated talk about the Vulcan bomber aircraft which was developed soon after the Second World War primarily to carry and deliver nuclear weapons. John showed pictures of the various prototypes produced during development and of the aircraft as ultimately produced. Although (fortunately) the Vulcans were never called upon to deliver an atomic (or hydrogen) bomb, they did drop more traditional bombs on the runway at Port Stanley during the Falklands war. The idea was to make the runway unusable by the Argentinians and two Vulcans flew that immense distance with air refuelling assistance and one of them successfully completed this major mission. Vulcans were also used as a ‘test-bed’ for the development of engines for other aircraft such as the TSR2 and Concorde. There are no Vulcans flying now, but there are several as static exhibits, including one at the City of Norwich Aviation Museum, where it is possible to enter the flight deck. Meetings of Holt and District Probus Club are normally held at lunchtime on the 1st Thursday each month at the Feathers in Holt. Enquiries about membership (or about a trial visit - visitors are most welcome) should be made to Secretary Alan Holmes on 01263 710782. Refer also to https:// holtprobusclub.wordpress.com
