I was at Farnbrough this Saturday and it was the first time i had seen Xh558 do a display for over 15 years.
I did manage to see her take off from Brunty back in May.
Does anyone know if there was a problem with the aircraft on Saturday?
I am a massive fan of this aircraft and like most if not all on this forum i have given some of my hard earned cask to get her back to where she is.
I had my 5 year old Son with me who was so excited to finally see her in the air for the first time and my Father who served at Scampton when the Vulcan’s were based there this was also the first time he had seen a Vulcan in 15 years.
Now i know the displays are going to be a gentle and not as impressive as they used to be but i was bitterley dissapointed with the display.
After take off she did 3 flypasts and then landed. Don’t get me wrong it was fantastic to see her flying again and well done to all involved thankyou.
If they are looking for a sponsor they need to make these first display season the best ever and give people the wow factor that was missing on saturday.
My son wondered what all the fuss was about why me and my Dad tried to keep our emotions intact…….
