What's this plane?

Was at Oulton Park this weekend & my 5 year old spotted this flying over us...Looked a bit like an awesome fighty Concorde





Apologies for the shonky pictures but what was it?

Vulcan I think.

Shame on you for not recognising a Vulcan.

Saw it overhead the M25 last weekend and immediately knew what it was.

Vulcan bomber, they're quite loud aren't they

Probably one of the most famous planes currently flying in the UK that's what!

I did think it was the Vulcan, was just very surprised to see it banking over us!

Yes it was quite fruity sounding - would have loved to hear it being given the beans....

Thanks chaps

I love the Vulcan!

I took these photos of it last Sunday at the Little Gransden Air and Vintage Show; it's a great little airshow in Cambridgeshire. http://www.littlegransdenshow.co.uk/

Wow, 3 wonderful photos there. I especially like the one coming over the tree line.

Thanks, Little Gransden Airshow is the only day of the year which I photograph planes so I was really happy with the results.

23 other photos from the day can be found here, which includes this Mk1 Ford Escort:
