Here are a few pics I took today with my phone of the Vulcan arriving for the RAF Leuchars Air Show.

old and new Vulcan arriving with the Typhoon

These are not great quality as they were with my phone.

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

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!
