Vulcan at Ayr today from the sea

Cracking show by the Vulcan at Ayr today; shame the Lancaster(s) couldn't make it

[Bigmuz7]

Thanks for posting .. was thinking of going .. cant be many of those 'airworthy' about anymore

[Chunk]

Was a good day, sun was shining (most of the time). There were a few ribs and keel boats out watching.
Think that is the only Vulcan that is airworthy - I'm sure someone can confirm. It is an amazing sight and sound when the 4 Olympus engines open up as it climbs away from you.
The British and Canadian Lancasters were on the bill too but I believe there was poor weather at their base that stopped them taking off.

XH558 Avro Vulcan, the last remaining and probably on its last season of flying.😕

Saw it last year at Clacton airshow. It even got my young daughters excited about aviation and engineering. Possibly only because I was jumping up and down like an excited fool.

Ahh I see, it's just that I was and saw it too late to photo it. I was snapping the game as a photographer and eyes were on the ball and not on the sky till too late.

Apparently they flew over Holme Moss, but it wasn't very spectacular. High up & not very clear.

Accompanied by a couple of fighters the two Lancasters flew overhead on their way to Airbourne a few weeks ago. I couldn't help wondering what it must have sounded like with hundreds of them on their way across the channel.

The sound of a Merlin always sends a tingle down my spine (a sign of a true Brit!)

We were in London a few years ago for a wedding & stayed over the weekend. Sunday morning I was up & about early doors & walking along Park Lane. The city was still & quiet apart from.....a lone Spitfire doing aerobatics over Hyde Park, the sound was incredible & I still get goosebumps thinking about it, magic.
