Anyone looking skywards today?
The Vulcan is doing a bit of a circuit.
I've studied the maps. Picked my spot.
What's the betting it will be just over the other side of a hill.

Saw it a few years ago too when the local airshow was on (just a couple of miles from us).
I was working outside and could hear various aircraft making noises in the distance. I'd look upwards if there was anything making an
'interesting' sound to see if it was in view.
I heard an odd rumble, so looked up to see this triangular THING flying straight towards me. It then started climbing almost vertically above me and
I was staring into its afterburners. And that's when the noise changed! Bloody hell... it was apocalyptic! The ground was shaking (and so was
I).

I can hear aero engines as I type but all I ca see at the moment are clouds . As the crow flies I'm about 3 miles from Duxford . I'm sure
if it puts in an appearance I will hear it at least . I was at a parachute club in Shropshire maybe 25 years ago , we had to suspend jumping as the
Vulcan was flying directly overhead on its last flight on its way to wherever it was rebuilt . It was like something from a science fiction film ,
very impressive

It was a little further away than I'd planned.
I blame the pilot. 
Best I could do.

Has literally just flown over my house in Spalding, must be on its way from Marham up to Waddington.
Sorry Scootz but the Vulcan never had afterburners or reheat, the only aircraft with Olympus engines that had reheat was Concord.

I was absolutely honoured to have it put on a display at the airfield literally yards from the bottom of my Garden. It was for a pre-season check and
did the full display. Absolutely amazing experience. Unfortunately, only had the "pocket camera", but got some OK shots. Car alarms
were going off on the fast low pass 
I always refer to it as my personal display, flying right over our house and garden
and my favourite shot
MK Indy - 2litre Duratec - Omex 600 - Jenvey throttle bodies - ETB DigiDash2

Strangely enough I was at the same place - found the sand coming off the beach to be a bit of a pain! Worth it though, shame it's her last
year. The noise is epic.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

LOL... my aircraft knowledge appears even more limited than my car knowledge.
Whatever they're called, I was looking right up it's tailpipes!
