Brize Norton Family day Photo's (XH558 Heavy!!)
Discussion
Right, here we go with some of my photo's from today. It was the first time I'd ever been to Brize so I think I was rather spoiled today for choice.
Plenty of VC10 action all day, and yet another two took off when I was just getting back to the car!
Have plenty of shots of XH558 plus some of the other visitors/participants. I must apologise though for the Hurricane and Spitfire pics, had the camera on the wrong settings!! Doh !!
The one thing that really stood out for me though, apart from a sideways wobble on takeoff for 558 was the immense power climb after liftoff, most enjoyable and reminiscent of the good old days [

Anyways enough waffling, on with the photo's, hope you enjoy []

king epic to get a face full of XH558 from your vantage point!!!Pretty sure I must have seen XH558 flying near RAF Lyneham on Sunday evening while travelling between Swindon and Chippenham on the M4.
My mate sat in the back shouted excitedly that it was a stealth bomber
I kindly corrected him that it looked more like a Vulcan bomber due to its shape. Needless to say he hadnt a clue what a Vulcan bomber was or looked like anyway, but he does now

The Vulcan had to divert to Lyneham due to a problem with a Tristar at Brize Norton, she will be there until tomorrow I believe when she will return to Brize.My mate sat in the back shouted excitedly that it was a stealth bomber
