FANCY A PIECE OF LUSTY LINDY? – THE 1st #twittervforce AUCTION

#twitterVforce are very proud to announce that we have teamed up with Andre Tempest  & Team Victor  to celebrate the anniversary of the arrival of Handley Page Victor B(K).Mk2 XL231 ‘Lusty Lindy’ at Elvington 20 years ago on 25th November, and  to offer you the once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of this historic V Bomber and veteran of Operation Granby during the first Gulf War.

Over the past few months we here at #twitterVforce have been in discussion with Andre to be able to offer you all a chance to own a piece of Lindy that is totally unique, with the intention of raising as much money to help keep her ‘LIVE’ and in the pristine condition that she is currently in, 

and folks, here it is…

the run in May where Flt Lt Olly Suckling Captained XL231 ‘Lusty Lindy’ for the
