Very nice photos Craig! I see it was pretty cloudy (as always). Perhaps you could make them a little lighter and sharper...I think that would improve them alot. Wink

The Vulcan is just a BEAST 8) 8) 8)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The words 'Ugly' and the Vulcan do not rest easily! Angry

Your slighting one of the best & most beautiful jet-bombers ever built!

Some people have a very strange concept of beauty. Roll Eyes

The Vulcan might be a beast but it's certainly not ugly. It was the star attraction at air displays all over the UK & I suspect Europe for many years. Even women with no interest in aviation at all fell in love with it. I just hope I can see that graceful bird back in the air where it belongs once more before I depart this mortal coil. I would travel 100s of miles to see that.
