I've seen the Vulcan fly a few times and every time it makes the hair on my arms stand up. An absolute great piece of history!!!!!!

I will ignore that Robin, I guess you still don't understand me.

Sorry dude, if you'd have popped in earlier we had a shed load of bags to give away, we all left at about 5.30 for the coach and still didn't get back till 10, which was a bit of a downer.

Just caught up with this thread - amazing pics & video! Thanks for posting :happy2:
I went on Sunday but was hugely disappointed to find the Vulcan was knackered.
I used to live in a small village relatively close to RAF Scampton as a boy and recall these beasts on midnight scrambles - several at a time flying frighteningly low above our house. The noise and look of these black moth like shapes in the moonlit sky were just undescribable. I think they carried nuclear payload in the 70's too! :scared:
Long live the Vulcan :notworthy:
