Nice pics, her repaint is coming along nicely. Am I right in thinking this is the only Vulcan in 617 artwork?

How nice to see 558 put on a bit of a show over Southend.
Just wait for all the complaints from the local Nimby’s saying how noisy the Easyjet planes were this afternoon?
Well done to everyone involved with XL426 and XH558.

Did you notice the tail of 426…

Applied just an hour or so before 558 arrived overhead.

Ah, now I see why I saw the Vulcan over the Dedham vale at 1600 hrs, remarkably quiet too, no wonder the Argies were caught out.
Vulcan to the skies will no doubt be getting a stiff letter of complaint from the Dedham residents for overflying their village.
