The guy with the Buchon is AM Cliff Spink who as an ex Coningsby station commander has flown fighters with the BBMF, C/T. Keith Brenchley is in the last picture, Keith is the BBMF’s engine trade manager.

I didn’t see the Buchon as I left shortly after the Vulcan departed.

Thank you TEEJ. Amazing pics as always.
I made it today 3rd time lucky but only just. She was just holding for the two Typhoons when I jumped off the bus. Four hours traveling for less than four minutes flying. Worth every second ! ! !
