Let's hope she gets the funding to be able to fly in 2009...

(Love the lower Anti Collision lights!)

Let's hope so Mike. If I had the money, I'd pay it all myself!

Oooooo, very nice

Ian

Super shots, you can almost feel the rumble in the air. Mike

saw this at Aldershot then Farnborough - amazing - just as much of a wow as the spitfire flying over

Ah I remember the Vulcan being a feature of most airshows in the 70s
Difficult to think that XH558 is the last airworthy example.
A classic that needs preserving for the nation and some af the best shots of it that i have seen of her.
V1 for me
Mick

superb shot, my faviroute plane!!!...

Excellent images..So her when She was at RAF Coningsby this year and simply magnificent. V1 i think looks the best, the clouds and colour add to the nostalgia of her...Well done
Barry

I'm looking foward to seeing the Vulcan again....I saw her a few times during the 90s before being grounded.

Thanks everyone. Shame if they don't get funding to fly next year after all the work that's gone into getting her back in the air.

I looked too soon last night Steve. Good to see all the variations you have added. I too hope funding is forthcoming.

Thanks Nigel. I could keep adding more and more variants, such a great plane.
