I saw one of these many years ago and it made the most tremendous noise.
What a wonderful plane...I hope it continues to fly somehow.

Another mistake was made with Concord. I fully realise that it couldn't fly commercially any more but now there is only one ( I think ) in a museum somewhere. I used to see it flying out of Heathrow and Bristol years ago, and it was a magnificent sight. My biggest regret is that I never flew in one.

When I was a kid it seemed we to the see Vulcans along The Valiant and The Victor every day now sadly they are gone from the skies.If I remember rightly when they decided to use the Vulcan for the raid on Port Stanley Airport during the Falklands War the had to go round aviation museums and private collectors to get the spares to make the plane combat capable.
mikey there is one at manchester airport it use to be outside but now they have a special building for it

VH558 is the last airworthy Vulcan and does many Airshows throughout the season. It is based at RAF Waddington and you can follow it here; http:// www.vul cantoth esky.or g/
I've been through G-BSST (Prototype 002) at RNAS Yeovilton, where she still is. You could hear them going supersonic over the Atlantic from my Sister's garden.
It'd be a shame to ground XH558 indefinitely, as the Trust got enough money together to keep her flying this year. She's at Sunderland Airshow in a couple of weeks and I'd love to see her in the air (But circumstances mean I can't get up there).
