I happened to be driving through Filton this afternoon, saw lots of people hanging around and thought 'VULCAN!' So I'm sat in a side road waiting to see it...... :)

I'm not a massive aircraft fan, but it was impressive and worth the wait!  :)  Although they only flew by once, they came in very low and waggled the wings!!!  :y

It came over Bourton On The Water at approx 5pm. Was sat in the car eating a bag of chips and nearly choked when i saw it, Amazing !!.  Did not know of the fly past in advance otherwise i would have had the camera ready.

Still, great to see it again.

I was lucky enough to see it while camping in Selby a few weekends ago and had my DSLR in my hand  :) as I was taking photo's of a sports event, what a sight it was, it was flying so low and slow I thought it was looking to ditch in the adjacent field. Luckily it didn't.  :y

Got some pics if anyone is interested. Will post in a bit.
