Vulcan XH558 Photo's From Today

[350Wedge]

Right here are some of my pictures from today, what hopefully will be the final test flight before the display authorisation flight in front of the CAA takes place.....

Also a big thank you to all the people at the Cold War Jets collection. There were several people on hand to talk about the collection and they even opened up the Sea Buccaneer for us to look over and sit in. It was very interesting to hear about the aircraft... BIG thumbs up to them

Anyway on with the photo's!!

Great shots guys and a proper feel good thread. It made me all warm to see pictures of the old girl in the air after following her rebuild on a couple of sites on the net.
