Waddington pics (first Vulcan public display)

Climate Expert · 2008-07-08 14:33:22

Just back from a weekend at the RAF Waddington airshow. Not the best airshow I've been to but some interesting stuff (mostly static) And just a pic of the very impressive Humber bridge for fun.

Great pictures sir, like the Mirage 2000 one and, of course, that lovely lady, the Vulcan. I am so itching to see her at the weekend at RIAT. Well done and thanks for sharing.

They took it fairly easy with her. Only really let the engines rip on takeoff and then on one climb. Still a great sight.

I was just reading about when it was first shown in 1955 with a barrel roll climb from takeoff!! For the average person back then it would have been like something from space.
