It was mate I only got pics of the Vulcan but the wife has all the others but there on her camera, I took that off my iPhone and cropped it , I also got up close to it I men close I have pics of me and the kids under the nose of it and I found out that unless they can get rolls Royce to lengthen the operational lease on the engines next year she could stop flying for good

Fantastic sight the Vulcan. Came over to Jersey the first year after renovation. Never seen such a sight of an aircraft.
It flew over the bay in front of all the spectators a couple of times as slow as I would think it could.
Then at the end of the third run it just went into orbit full power at an extraordinary angle and the power from those engines was just something to behold.
Stood under it at a museum some where in the Midlands, cannot remember where, and the sight was awesome.
Just read about the Black Buck attack, yesterday evening, the attack on Stanley Airport in the Falklands. Amazing flying. Flight Lieutenant Withers the captain of the aircraft, he was no2 the first Vulcan turned back, found he did not have enough fuel after the last top up to make the attack and get back to rendezvous with the Victor Tanker.
Bombed and a Victor Tanker managed to get far enough down to top up empty tanks.
Just a remarkable aircraft never to be repeated.
