Coventry Fly-In - The Vulcan's finest (and possibly last) hour.

[Hedge]

Ladies and Gents, not your usual picture thread so I apologise in advance. More an impassioned plea.

Why do I love this aircraft? I guess the answer is it reminds me so much of my car. It drinks fuel, it costs a fortune to run but my God does it entertain and sound good. What more can I say.  

So there you have it, the short version. Trust me the long version is even more embarrasing, the idea is to raise the profile of XH558, The Vulcan, and to inform you of her current financial situation.

Have a read of this before you take a look at the pictures from today at Coventry.

Sorry about the Tornado.

There you have it. Potentially the last public display of XH558. Please let that not be the case. If she makes you feel the same way I do then the choice is yours.

Spot me if you can.

Fantastic pics Mr H! 

And a more than worthy cause to keep this epic aircraft in front of it's adoring public!

And a nice one of the howling take-off.

I've got a few pics of her somewhere. I'm a firefighter at RAF Leuchars, so seen it up close just a few weeks ago. Amazing A/C!!!

I said in another post it flew over my house low level a few weeks back immense noise. There used to one at east fortune but think its gone
When I were a kid we would get sorts of planes flying over our old gaff to test the radar at a test place near Edinburgh airport . Nimrod came in one day low level no gear down skimmed the length of the runway then back into the sky thought it was going to crash . Used to have a pic of a flight crew that had picked my old bt van as a Target and locked on to it in a pretend bombing run up by the black isle area at the start of the first gulf war. Amazing.
