Vulcan XH558

I wonder if it had been the Vulcan fleet in the tanker role and a Victor that bombed the Falklands, would it have been the Victor that people took to their hearts?

 

I think we can be certain of one thing, we won't be seeing a Victor fly again.

 

even at Bruntingthorpe.

 

I thought he took the ferry these days.................

OK, I'll get me coat.......

My video of the Vulcan at Bruntingthorpe

 

EOR facebook page have a photo of the Vulcan taken from North Weald Station platform.

 

Great shots - you managed to judge the height to climb up just right!

 

Two from Dad yesterday. Middle Wallop. Spent nearly 4 hours on Saturday afternoon trying to find cover for work so I could see the Vulcan, but couldn't find anyone at such short notice. Hopefully will be out for the final flight, absolutely blown away by the noise from this thing.



And here's one from August at Clacton-on-Sea - my first time seeing her display.

Thanks but pure luck but had to be done.

 

Featured on BBC Breakfast this morning. Probably going to be repeated shortly.

 

Stunning, well done. Look at all those cars in the valley, wonder how many of those inside made it up.

 

so when and where is the final final flight?

 

Some time in October. From and to Doncaster, nothing else has yet been announced.

 

...but look out for the news email tonight.
