We have reobserved the remnant of SN 1006 AD with the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at 1370 and 1665 Mhz. We compare the resulting images with those reconstructed from observations made in 1983-1984 by Reynolds & Gilmore and find that expansion has occurred in the eight intervening years. The mean expansion in this period is 3.5±1 arcsec, implying an expansion rate of 0.049% yr −1 or R∞t 0.48±0.13 , consistent with Sedov expansion, or with a forward/reverse shock pair moving into constant-density material. There is some evidence that the expansion rate is not uniform around the shell, being slightly smaller in the southwest quadrant
