[QUOTE=Jur;1934355]This is how G-AKIU already looked like 2 years ago.
And looking back further as she was in the mid 1960s at Biggin Hill !

Personally i thought it was a cracking display. At last some sensible variety has been injected into Duxford’s display programme. Right from the 4 x F-15 flyby i thought it was all good. And the Vulcan’s return has been long overdue as well.
Well done everyone at the IWM and to all the display crews involved.

Here are 2 pictures of the opening flypast by the F15 4 ship
It’ll be interesting to see what the *Vulcan Effect* does to the crowd size.. Not to mention there’s been a decided lack of Vulcan pics on Dx threads.. 😉
A few more pictures of the Vulcan today
