Vulcan Is Flying Today

[Ann]

Don't miss it if it's coming over you this afternoon! May be one of your last chances to see it! Take off Doncaster 3.50pm to Weston SuperMare- see the route on here

Got to dash - wouldn't miss it for the world! What a mighty plane XH558 is! :)

I first saw this in a hanger at RAF Boscombe, when it was still on the secret list.

I needed three different security passes to enter this Joint Services facility.

Only ever seen it in flight, AOG....and that's pretty impressive.....up close must have been even more so?

[Ann]

No we are on way to Oakham, hopefully see it there.
Disappointed no Vulcan lovers on AB today - sorry, your loss!

[gness]

Not a whisper.....it flew further west than planned. If it does that on the way back I may be lucky....hope Ann is.....x

It's unfortunate that the Southend Air Show no longer exists. The Vulcan was always a great favourite there. (It was handy for me - and free too!)

Thanks, Chris...x

when my late father was in the airforce, he worked (ground crew) on vulcan in the sixties, so i grew up seeing them daily

they knocked my socks off back then - and they always will - incredible aircraft!

It flew near to Foxton Locks while I was there today. Wonderful sight. They used to fly over our house when we lived in Oakham in the early 60s. They flew from RAF Cottesmore.
