Wonderful Vulcan bomber .......
29 Answers
I saw the Vulcan bomber today fly almost over us, I think it was going back to base from the Bournemouth air show. The video is an old one from YouTube as I sadly didn't have my camera with me today :(
What a great aircraft it is ....... hope it keeps getting the funding to keep it flying.

The Vulcan has just flown directly over our garden, the lowest I have ever seen any aircraft go over - it was just amazing. On the way home from the Bournemouth air show I would think. Yesterday I had a view of it from a distance but today it was like our own personal flypast, luckily hubby was home to see it too, we were like two big kids jumping up and down on our lawn shouting "O WOW - best we've ever seen it" and of course it flies so slow we had a long view too. Of course Ann didn't have her camera to hand :(
Sqad - we've spoken before about Wooodhall Spa, you were really lucky listening to the speaker, bet that was very interesting.
Em - I agree with you that it is most preferable to seeing aircraft flying than on the ground to look round in a hangar or at a show.
Its made our day (a flypast for our 44th wedding anniversary next Friday!!!)

When we lived in Oakham in 1966/8 the Vulcans used to fly over our house when they were doing what I think they called 'circuits and bumps', taking off and landing. They were based at Cottesmore. Unfortunately one of them went in in the summer of 1968 and all the station had to go arm in arm all across the fields to find whatever they could. It upset my husband for a long time.
There is something wonderful about them, and I know my husband would have got involved with the group that rebuilt this one if he had been able.
