There’s something rather stirring about seeing two very British icons together, isn’t there? OK, so the

XH558, though, is a different matter. The ear-melting roar of the Olympus Mk202 engines, and the sight of that vast and beautiful silhouette engaging in a steep climb-turn are enough to make grown men go weak at the knees. All the better to hear that the Vulcan To The Sky Trust is close to being able to return the old girl to flying form - feel free to throw a donation their way if you're able to help.

These two very British machines are, obviously, very different. But the simple fact is that they look damn good together, and that’s reason enough for this shot, captured at our special Sunday Service last weekend, to earn our approbation.
