I can only just remember seeing her flying in the mid/late 80's and early 90's, but it is one memorable aeroplane though...

Hi Charlie

I will always remember the 'elephant trumpet' of the engines as they wound up to full power just before take-off.  Grin

Nothing on the airshow scene, and I mean nothing, comes close to the Vulcan. It is a real show stopper. All those people too young to have seen XH558 display will get a real treat if and when they see this awesome aircraft in its element.

I'm too young to have seen the Vulcan flying, but I really would love to see it in the air again. I can imagine what a unique aircraft it is Wink

I was young but I still remember it. Its that elephantine whine that gets you and then its like wall of noise that suddenly hits you as it goes past.
