Not what I expected to see
Sat in the garden about an hour ago enjoing a beer and a BBQ....
Look up to see the Vulcan Bomber cruising towards us at a very low altitude, made a very graceful bank to the right to show the full wing profile and disappeared off into the sunset.....
Just made the night for me...

Living where I do I seem to be on a lot of the display routes, regularly have the BBM flight go over, this was just totally unexpected.
Tried to do a bit of digging to see where it was off to but unsuccessful. Its based at Doncaster and the next due display is not until the 9th June in Welshpool...

I did a display at Yeovilton, not sure that is me flying the one shown,maybe not. During that display a German pilot tried to do a very tight final turn in his F104 and the aircraft stalled and flicked into the ground. Wrong move! I took off for my display just after that happened. The so called "awesome landing" one could easily be me because I used to do a lowlevel circuit and play the final turn so that I did not level the wings until just before touchdown and then do a roller landing to take off for the rest of the display. We all had our own display sequence, the only thing you had to get right was the length of time that the display took.
Can't tell you how much I miss doing that kind of hooliganism!

That's very cool. I have not seen a Vulcan fly for years. I do get to see The Lancaster bomber from time to time. In fact it flew over my house the other week. Nothing like the sound of 4 merlin engines.

Where are you mate?
About an hour ago a B17 Bomber trundled over my place over here by Santa pod, my guess was it was on it way back to Duxford...
I love where I live
In the last 2 weeks, Lancaster, Vulcan and B17..... just superb
