    The first time I ever saw a Vulcan in the flesh was at the Biggin Hill airshow in '79. At Biggin Hill you have that dip at one end of the runway and the planes used to love dipping down there to then appear suddenly and roar over the crowd. When the Vulcan did it I think it rattled my fillings loose!

        As much as I like the Vulcan, that Eurofighter can certainly make some noise.

          First thing the Argi conscipts said on seeing the vulcan "If thats how big their planes are how big is the aicraft carrier".

          America once boasted to the RAF that we'd never get something that size over there airspace so the vulcan pilot followed a jumbo from heathrow right underneath all the way in and all the way backTaking pics of White house ,think they were spotted coming back to refuel.

          Was running along an air strip near nirobi when one flew over us at o feet, Proof that the brown sound exists.:emo12:

            I saw one at Biggin too. So loud you could feel it in your chest. What a majestic plane; the modern ones just don't do it for me though.

            The Chinook up close was incredible too.
