AD Group Plans To Fit FlightVu To Capture Historic Vulcan V-Bomber’s Return To Flight from Skycontrol by alain - CCTV specialist AD Group is sponsoring the ambitious 'Vulcan to the Sky' project designed to return an original Vulcan V-bomber to flight and allow the majestic delta-wing design to once again wow the crowds at public air displays. As part of its support for the project, AD Group plans to supply a state-of-the-art FlightVu digital video recorder - and associated CCTV cameras - from its subsidiary AD Aerospace to provide valuable in-flight footage of this historic aircraft. To reach a position where Vulcan XH558, which left RAF service in 1993, is only weeks away from obtaining a CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) permit-to-fly is the end result of an eleven year restoration project. An outcome which has only been made possible by the hardwork of a network of volunteers and funding from business and private donations.
