Thats a shame for them, but I guess thats the nature of the beast. Even if 16weeks does appear a long lead time, I dont really know whats common or anything else about the tank.

At least they managed to last the main part of the show season out.

It's always a treat seeing the Vulcan fly

She came over the house last wednesday week, incredible sight. Clearly the turbofans aren't pushed these days, because she was very quiet.

Other unmistakable recent sights and sounds over the house have been the Lancaster bomber, lovely sounds and sight, and the odd lone Spitfire.

The modern stuff (Euro) is just very, very loud. Just doesn't have that nostalgia, but when they go through their training routines (especially in pairs) the vibration through the house is incredible.

Life in rural Lincs.
