A visitor from - posted Wed May 19, 2010: Amazing capture of this spirited departure, must have been etched on atending public. What are the different lids covering the number 3 and 4 engines compared to #1-2? Frank from BUE - E01
A visitor from - posted Sat September 13, 2008: Beautiful photo of a beautiful plane... Excellent.
A visitor from - posted Fri July 18, 2008: I gotta chuckle when I read comments such as "Amazing quality for a pic taken over 40 years ago". Undoubtedly posted by a "20 or 30 something". My grandfather was a photographer in the Signal Corp and I have 3 albums full of EXCELLENT fotos of WW ONE (1914-1917)
A visitor from United States posted Thu January 17, 2008: Amazing quality! This picture was taken over 40 years ago and is of amazing quality, much better than anything I've ever taken! A Five Star shot for sure!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue November 27, 2007: With the recent return to flight of a Vulcan, sounds and sights like this excellent, evocative picture will be experienced again. Alex Christie's excellent photos from decades past, are an outstanding collection.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed August 15, 2007: Love the contrasts here: the way the sunlight catches the underside of the aircraft against interesting sky/cloud colours. This nuclear bomber appears graceful, peaceful even; an object of beauty. Dark smoke from the engines only hints at the ear-shattering noise which must have accompanied the flypast, and on closer inspection the aircraft's bomb bay doors are dead centre, but closed: the faintest reminder of the Vulcan's true purpose.
A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 2, 2007: Amazing! I just can't believe the scan quality.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 1, 2007: Amazing quality for a picture that is over 40 years old! This photograph really captures the speed and power of a Vulcan, you can almost hear the 4 Olympus engines roaring!
A visitor from Ireland posted Fri March 30, 2007: Great light, very evocative shot.
A visitor from United States posted Wed March 28, 2007: Beautiful plane. This shot looks awesome with the dark sky backdrop.
