More Vulcan this weekend
« on: 08 October 2015, 13:54:44 »
Hi all,

Click the link to see the planned Vulcan routes this weekend. You will need to scroll down, then click on the map to enlarge and see the routes clearly. What I do find strange is that it does not come here to High Wycombe, the HQ of the old Bomber Command, now Strike Command.
Old Bomber Harris must be really out of favour ;D ;D

No visit to Lyneham or RWB either .. :(  although I expect the proximity to the main UK/US airway overhead does not help .. :(

They seem to have missed the south and certainly the southwest out of the southern route completely!

Fairs fair... It has been present at every airshow down here this summer... Suspect that these latest routes are designed to give as many people a chance to glimpse it as possible, ie away from all the displays ;y

We have certainly been lucky in Bournemouth, but I m not sure it's been to the southwest at all has it?

Looking forward to seeing it fly past Farnborough tomorrow.  Shame it wont go directly over the house but then I only have to go 5 minutes to get a view and 15 for a fantastic vantage point over looking the Airport :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I still have a vivid recollection of being in urgent need of Marks and Spencer's when a Vulcan came out of absolutely nowhere when I was on Weymouth pier and flew SO low as to virtually part my hair for me!
Oh the noise - but also oh so magnificent!!!
