I was just about to post that.

Here's a photo of her above Copse. It's not often you can't hear a Vulcan.

Look what I found yesterday at my Parents' house!

OK it's not 558 but still.



Wonder if the wife will let me put it up in the living room?

Wow. That's some low flying there. Was there a show nearby?

Brilliant display at Dunsfold yesterday. The crew really showed off her manoeuvrability. And the noise - Fabulous.

Was sat in the garden yesterday near Oxford having a BBQ when i heard a jet engine, look a while before we saw it due to the high hedges etc but was very low then left a lovely trail of smoke from the engines.

Just flew directly over mine at what could only have been 2-3 thousand feet. Heading is a SW direction. I live in East Sussex, near Uckfield.

Goosebumps biggrin
