Title: Armed Forces day - vulcan flypast
Post by: Varche 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.?

Post by: Carfix on 22 June 2015, 12:04:57: 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.

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
