Oh yes the howl, Chivenor 1992 or it may be 93, (dont remember) the year just the howl as 558 climbed before almost going over the top—- bloody great.
Oh lets go and buy some tickets for next year, and please do a fly over very, very low over Newark where that guy told me in a very superior voice that the Vulcan would never fly again, however he did not understand that i knew what was required to get it back in the air and operating again, that it only needed the Design Authority (which was held by BAe Systems) the CAA and the Waltons (who at that time owed the aircraft)
Well, very well done to all involved for getting this iconic aircraft this far, Knighthoods, OBE, MBE and the like should be on their way to all who have laboured to give something back to a very sad and sinking country, (and thanks to those in charge aswel).
Paul.
(feel like a drink now, sod it, i’ll watch TopGun instead)
