I doubt the Vulcan is getting airbourne with the airbrakes on, Nice shots though. Good ole days. :)

fair point, however at that point on the runway the nosewheel is usually on the deck on landing, I guess the nose may have been deliberately held up for the benefit of airshow punters

The vulcan uses the vast wing to slow down, either that or they use the drag chute, which was not deployed ;)

hence why the high angle and airbrakes out :)

The chute isn't deployed until all sets of wheels are on the ground. But your right, they do just go along and use the area to slow down, Looks smart when doing so.

Nice to see the Jags and Tonkas together. I remember back in 83 at Goose, 9 Sqn came out on det, brought 8 with them, and left with only 6 due to a mid-air.
