The link works fro me, Lizzie. Never mind, though. If you go to http://www.flightlevel350.com and look for Aviation Videos>Recent Top Videos>Last Two Weeks, you'll find it listed as "Vulcan"  :y

Great Nick, well worth the wait! :-* :-* :-* 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

And with a B52 thrown in for good measure :y :y :y :y :y

I saw those flying in and out of Fairford over the Bristol area during the Gulf War, let alone having once as a friend, now deceased, an American USAF Lt.Colonel who flew them over Vietnam.  He once showed me around one at the Albuquerque Air Force base in New Mexico 8-) 8-) 8-).

I'm jealous Lance!  What an interesting and highly impressive place :-* :-* :-* 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)  Some very historical eqipment there ;)

Always wondered why the UK did not preserve a battleship ::) ::)  Lost opportunity, but I suppose all our battleships were scrapped many decades before the USA stopped using them, in days when scrap, not preservation, was the name of the game :'( :'(

I note though that the USS Alabama was decommissioned in 1947, so typical of the then rich and all powerful USA they had the vision and money to preserve her all those years ago, no doubt after some years in 'reserve'. 8-) 8-)
