Over the years I've put several of my photos of the magnificent Vulcan XH558 on the blog, but, as it's displaying days are coming to an end, I feel a tinge of sadness knowing that these will be the last I'll take of this iconic aircraft actually airborne.

A beautiful swansong to a special jet, As you say Scoop, a sad day as it finally retires to its home in Doncaster.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Woodsy. A true part of Britain's postwar heritage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bird! I'm glad you were able to see it and share your photographs of this magnificent piece of aviation history Scoop!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty Ed, I'm glad you liked them.
DeleteI particularly like your last photo Scoop, that pier looks so futuristic! It could be one of the Thunderbirds flying off from Tracy Island!
