Hello everyone,
I’m here asking for a favour if possible, please. I’m looking for a particular picture of a Vulcan, that I’m sure I’ve seen posted on this forum, albeit some years ago, possibly on a How Low Can You Go thread. I’ve tried an image search but to no avail!
The picture in question is (I think) in black and white, and depicts some sort of formal ceremony where a group of people are posing on some staging, and a Vulcan is approaching very low from the right. The picture is taken at exactly the point that one person is looking round and realises the mayhem that’s about to unfurl as the Vulcan passes and its colossal engine noise is about to become apparent to everyone there!
If someone who remembers the pic could post it I’d be most grateful!
Many thanks
SimonR

“And they punched afterburners right as they passed over the viewing stand, correct?”
I think that can definitely be ruled out.

Oh wow – Thanks very much Wyvernfan, I think that’s the one – I had slightly misremembered it.
It’s a stunning picture, isn’t it?

Now that would have been a sight in a Vulcan. The photo was reputedly taken at RAF Swinderby in Lincolnshire. The Newark Air Museum Twitter feed has tweeted a similar photo of a Hastings approaching in a similar manner at another passing out parade, albeit at a higher altitude; the museum archive photo of the Vulcan was scanned in reverse and always attracts comments about the standard and the salute!
