Some brilliant photos. Surprised that Airbus replaced Malaysian's A380 with MSN009 for the aerial displays.

^ I had to double-take to make sure it wasn't an aircraft! Brilliant, Ian! And very nice photo  :notworthy:

Was the Vulcan made as a Dinky Toy? I seem to remember having one as a youngster.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.  :love:

Not sure about Dinky Robin but they are still made today. I have a couple in 1/44th scale as they made an XH558 special edition plus my mum used to get them when she worked at British Aerospace.  :happy2:

And here was I, wishing I still had my Dinky Toy Vulcan so I could give it to you. I remember I definitely had a Meteor.

So, how/when did you first become interested in the Vulcan? - Was it seeing one as a boy in short trousers with mum?

Awesome pics Ian. Makes me wish I had gone now :laugh:. Was very quiet over my neck of the woods yesterday for some reason. They must have headed South instead yesterday. Today should be a better day with the sun out.

Don't rightly know Robin. I remember seeing them as a kid as they were based in Lincolnshire.

More recently because of a print my mum brought me home from a chap called Martin Bromley where she worked and also a model.

Subsequently I went to Dunsfold in 2008 to see the Vulcan fly, joined the VTTS and that was it.

Small model here.
