Lovely. I was hoping someone would post some shot from Brunters today.

As already said by others, i can't wait to see her on the Airshow Circuit next year.

Was this the RAFs last display Vulcan or a different one?

I remember working at Leuchars airday when it went up for it's final display, unfortunately due to bad weather it took off, disappeared into the low cloud base and went home.

Hi Fast Guy

This was the last display and the last Vulcan to fly, its been on the deck for 14 years or there about, its been in various forms of restoration to fly since it landed at Bruntingthorpe.

The team there need a big sponsor now to get to next seasons air shows.

Rgs Will.

Wahooo, always a favourite, I can't believe they managed to do it but they have, I need to see those amazing take offs again, it was really part of the Vulcan swan song that they did that shooting straight up off the runway in the last few years of it's life prior to the re-build, it certainly gave the aircraft loads of admiring fans!

Cheers

Darren
