    I arrived at East midland airport and waited for 4HRS on a cold windy grass bank only to see the vulcan turn for Derby,i was disappointed but im not full of hate and disgust i managed to see the vulcan more since its restoration than during its RAF service or so it seems,i have even got it on Digital video with noise so im saying well done vtts you’ve entertained millions and thanks for the memories.

    yes i agree ‘flying pencil’ move to an active airfield have airshows to drum up money and also allow for aircraft to fly in etc to keep the public interested and keep returning back.

    Wow reading all these big posts from all of you sitting in arm chairs in leafy Surrey etc…. theres always a few who know more than the rest of us. If they had not dropped the bombs maybe i would not be here, my dad was training in the raf and was pretty sure they were going to be bomber crew and that meant going to the far east. He was there and was glad of the end to the war. In the far east there was more inhuman torture going on than in europe, so cant you except that this deed had to be done.We have all the answers now because it is history ,they at the time had none because the next day was there future. Amen.

    They used to have warbird airshows as well they were great with a chance to see in the hangars,and close up crowd lines.

    Ok i was only joking with the parting out of the shackleton,i dont know how they do it at brunty it cant be nice working on the live aircraft in all weathers ,wonder how much a modern day structure would cost to throw up ,just cladding and steel framework

    Wish it could go to Elvington it would be able to ground run on their long runway next to 2 other iconic cold war jets(4 engined) drum up money for the museum at such events and they could build the hangar of learning on an airfield that is hardly over developed ,infact build it big enough to house or service the other live jets.Lets get all the historic jets together not spread out where you cant afford to travel to regularly.

    Does anybody know if the B.29 will still be outside on the jet pan on monday because i will get down there if it is….great shots by the way i travelled down from Stoke to see this take off from RAF Mildenhall when it was going to Duxford which then meant a nite stop in a lay-by in my dads converted camper van and the master cylinder went but we managed to limp home after we filed a 10 pence piece down to fit its all on the old cine film then converted to video then onto disc ‘them were the days’
