I've seen this beast fly over my house a few times now, infact i saw it again yesterday. I had no idea what it was, but thought it must have been some sort of bomber and my dad confirmed this yesterday.

I can't explain how big this thing is, it looks like a massive version of the euro fighter minus the front wings/flaps/stabalisers or what ever they are called!

I dont know why i bothered posting this, but i had to share as i'm sure some of you will appreciate what i'm talking about!

At least one used to be based at RAF Scumpton, My parents live in the flight path and i can remember them going over when i was a kid. Bloody huge, first time one went over I burst into tears and ran in side mainly due the the unexpected noise as they wacked the thrust up.

Saw that at a Southend air show many years ago. My one outstanding memory of it is just how noisy it is.

I believe that she is being based out of Brize for the airshow season. Which is why Mc L is seeing so much of it.

But JHC on a peddlo seeing a vulcan and thinking it must be some sort of bomber but not knowing what it is! Were you brought up in a convent with no windows? Probably the most iconic plane of the cold war, not to mention being made famous by "black buck" and still no clue as to what it is.

Dear god hand in your testicles you are obviously a girl. Go and ask Nolar where she had the surgery done.

Bugger, I knew it was one or the other and guessed the wrong one. Still nice and close so I get to see her regularly.

McLovin enters the PH Hall of Shame.

Not only did he not recognise a Vulcan - even worse - he posted the topic in the WRONG FORUMeek

There used to be loads based at Raf Scampton Depending how long ago you were a kid!!) My uncle was the CO of 35 sqn which disbanded in March 1982, which in its later years was based there after returning from Cyprus.
