A Vulcan Bomber Tribute

The Vulcan has been doing its thing recently after having some Technical Problems

The Vulcan at Lake Windermere :shock:

Thanks for posting that SpeedBird

The sound that makes is just awesome

I Wish they'd attach a camera to it as I bet the scenery is great from up there

Cheers

The Vulcan and Red Arrows Dawlish 2009, just here -Roo- enjoy -

Hi SpeedBird

I did enjoy

Thanks again for that :dance:

Pleased you liked it Roo, I like to keep you in the loop :lol:

ATB,- Roo

Its appreciated... Thank You :dance:

I was doing some work on the car about 2 weeks ago.

We live in an urban low fly zone, so quite often get fast jets and the red arrows buzzing over.

But there was a roar like none we normally hear. Looked up, and flying over, just doing a turn, was the Vulcan. Can't have been more than 400ft, and was brilliant to see! It flew of 'up the road' so we were able to watch for a minute or so, before it went out of sight.

Shame you didn't get a pic of it Steph or Drew :wink:

I got these shots at the Southport air show last year, hope its back again this year.

And yes Jess slept through all that noise :shock:

Great Pics there Ste

Thank You for posting them Matey :dance:

Ha Drift

a closet Plane Spotter eh -

your secrets out now

PS nice pictures though

Spotted today at Silverstone. Was up there for the BTCC, and they had the UK aerobatics going on at the same time (cars and plans in the same place, It was HEAVEN

) and i'm still smiling.

Thought the highlight of the day was meeting all the BTCC drivers, but No, at the end of the aerobatics they closed with this:

Made the perfect end to a perfect day, and it was flown by Martin Withers! (not sure if thats how you spell his last name

) but he's the guy who flew the Vulcan to bomb Stanley Airfield when the argies invaded the Falklands.

Hey Nice Pics Steph and Dean :dance:

Hey Steph I think you should get your own nickname on here hun as you know I get confused easy :wink:

Thanks for posting those pics :dance:

Cheers

Lol, it's ok Roo, been called worse. Have asked Steph to create her own account, you never know, maybe one day she will.

Anyway, back on topic, Went to a Christening today, and after was the Pub

but driving, and with kids in car i won't touch a drop

, but the Vulcan flew over about 4.30pm which was good.

Seeing it twice in two days, either its very busy or i'm just lucky.

the pub was near Abingdon Oxfordshire. The Vulcan just appeared and then was gone, so no chance to get any pics.

Also, when i saw it at Silverstone, they said over the tannoy all about the plane etc, but then said that they have funding for this season of air display, but don't have enough yet for next year. hope they do get it, as it is one of the most amazing pieces of British engineering.

Nice pictures there headbanging glad you enjoyed it

I was lucky enough to see it myself yesterday at the Wings and Wheels Dunsfold Airshow. We thought it might not turn up because of the low cloud about, the commentator seemed to think it was possible that it would cancel its display because the weather. Also Dunsfold is quite close to the Gatwick Air Traffic so this was another hazard.

But hey we got lucky so here it is Dunsfold Airshow :roll:
