Some nice photos there, those Vulcans always look impressive. They had a Typhoon pitched up in Birmingham town centre the other week for a RAF recruitment thingy, cant get over how big they are when your stood next to one!

Lovely pics considering you used your phone. Looks like they had a good fly around in her before landing as well.

She's just a beauty isn't she!

its an beautify eery (sp) thing to see in the sky, walked out my front door a few weeks back to see it practically gliding low over the house, then powered up and shot off, sent shivers down the spine

i was chuffed aswell, i had a massive grin on my face for the rest of the evening...... well seeing as i had been sat on a hill the same day for hours waiting to see it and didn't

i told all of my joy and was called a geek but i don't care, proud :cool:

Great pics Apollo! I didn't think the UK had any left in flying condition (is this one in private hands??). I imagine the sound that they make when flying in relatively small circles is like the sound a dinosaur would make! Love it!

They rebuilt one, massive project, only just got it finished and flying recently.

A beautiful plane. In one of Nobbly's pics the bomb doors are open. Fantastic.

Yep! I was trying so hard to get the bomb doors in that I cut off the nose of the plane!
