Both would have looked spectacular if you hitched it up to your fatty and took the Vulcan home lol. Where was that Stan? Aircraft museum?

Nice pic Stan… 👍

Well I didn't know that Stan, last time I went to that market was back in 1992. Once I'm back up and driving it could be worth a nice day out. The only Vulcan I've seen is at RAF cosford, another great day out there.

You have promoted a memory from way back in the early 1970’s when I was working in the BT radio station in Heaton Park Manchester.
The RAF held a special commemorative exhibition featuring all sorts of exhibits and air displays.
We were told the details of a low level flypast of a Vulcan.
Several of us young engineers climbed the tower and had a grandstand view of the events, including looking down on the Vulcan as it circled the tower. at less than its 250ft height.
The noise and vibrations were pretty scary.
Sadly no pictures to share.

Thinking back about the event, photos must exist, because I’m pretty sure we took up an “official “ photographer, either from the RAF or I seem to think from the Manchester Evening News.
I wonder how to access their archives ?

I was lucky enough to see the Vulcan at an airshow many, many years ago.

The noise was incredible! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

When I was a kid we, as family (my Dad was aircraft mad), used to visit numerous airshows. One of the most spectacular was Gaydon (when it was a real RAF base!), the finale was almost always a V bomber scramble, with both Victors and Vulcans. It was probably the loudest thing I've ever experienced. It sounded like constant thunder and you could feel the sound in the air. Words alone cant do it justice. Utterly incredible. Drives:
