Much better than Romulans.

[RDON]

ohhh I might go down and watch.. nice one

[Ricey]

Someone just mentioned on FB that it was flying over.

[ATTAK Z]

She's still here ... The crew are on board

[Ricey]

Someone said 'keep and ear out for the Vulcan'.........I said you'll feel it before you hear it!

[Floydbax]

My Uncle used to fly these . I remember the residents near to Bruntingthorpe Proving ground started complaining about the noise from the cars using the runway, a couple of 'maintenance' runs of the Vulcan engines weekly soon stopped the complaints

[ATTAK Z]

She's taken off

[Beavis]

She is doing a display at Cosford air show this afternoon.

 

[choptop]

I wonder if they play 'Bomber' by Motorhead as a backing track to the display

[steve916]

Used to love watching it flying at air shows each year. Seen it flying over here once or twice in recent years

[sipar69]

Great that this is flying but I wish the same could be said for the Victor. An equally important and beautiful plane in its own right.

[ATTAK Z]

There's a Victor at Elvington ... I think it taxis now and again

[choptop]

Great cold war bomber but piston engined WW2 planes more my cup of tea.

Would love to see a Mosquito flying again. I hear the memorial flight may be getting one

Spitfire and Hurricane over Worcester yesterday, apparently.

[ianphampton]

Spitfire and Hurricane did 3 passes over the race track on Saturday, sounded great and the weather had cleared so got great view

Yep I think they do taxi runs but no flying sadly. My dad flew in them in the 70s out of RAF Marham in Norfolk.

And The Valiant too, over 100 built but I think there's only one complete non flying one left.

My grandad got a medal for working on these at RAF Marham in the 50's. Lovely machines

My Godfather work as an aerodynamicist on the Victor ... lost contact with him when he went to the USA working for Cessna and later Boeing

[steve916]

It's starting to sound like.......

My best mates aunties husbands mum got to screw the last wheel nut in on the 44th one to be built.

All interesting facts though, that generations before us got to work on such lovely aircraft.
