Just so everyone knows this is a flyover of the only Vulcan Bomber that is flying in the world today.

It's the XH558 restored a couple of years ago. http://www.vulcantothesky.org/

She is doing a display for the World Aero championships at Silverstone and Wellesbourne Aero Control Tower has persuaded them to come over to Wellesbourne at 16:40 today.

Had a Lancaster fly over my flat, at about 1000feet, returning from the Clacton Airshow yesterday.

Sounded like a thousand Harley's in the sky. Awesome.

Got there just in time was next to the flying club with my dad. Was awsome! 4th time i've seen her and it was still breathtaking! Thanks for the heads up ali

Arrived just in time to see her - Fantasic!!

It looked like the plane was hovering as it banked around a few times and was such an elegant sight.

Thanks for the tip ali kat

The Vulcan is at Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold tomorrow. Really looking forward to seeing it as it was cancelled from the schedule last year.

Unexpectedly spotted this whilst hooning on country roads at many leptons, performed an emergency stop, pulled up in front of a farm gate and lept out to watch it thunder overhead, fantastic.

Were you in an Xbow on the road around the edge of the airfield?
I followed one after the Vulcan had left.
