Armed Forces day - vulcan flypast
« on: 20 June 2015, 10:28:26 »
I wish I was going to be in Scarborough for the armed forces day. It will include one of the last flypasts by the Vulcan

Maybe in your area too.?

Saw the Vulcan fly over today at Sywell around 5pm. Sadly wasn't that low but easily visible. Beautiful.

The Vulcan and an escort plane flew low over my house at Malmesbury, Wiltshire yesterday (Sunday).

I think it was on it's way south to an air show at Weston-Super-Mare.

Fantastic sight and fantastic noise.

Just seen this posted to a local group

We are advised the last remaining Vulcan Bomber will be passing over Bolton on Saturday , this is the Vulcans final tour before it is grounded. The route is Carlisle -Barton-Woodford. we will update when we have the flightpath details, but we anticipate low flying over the reebok at about 2.50 pm

Yeah, saw the Vulcan at Weston on Sunday, it did a good few flypasts, some under full throttle - Oh my God, what an absolutely awesome sound that was  8) 8) 8)
