Remark

Photographer

XM648 (cn AV280) Four Vulcans XM657, XL427, XM575 and XM648 are about to scramble at the last airshow where Vulcans were present in great numbers. It is a pity that the sound was not saved and attached as in my memory I feel the ground shake. It will be great to see one of these aircraft in the air again soon.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat March 18, 2006: Well done Mick. Very atmospheric. Superb and unique image from an era I remember so well. An aircraft that is my choice for the most photogenic of airframes without a doubt.... and taken by you, for you!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat March 18, 2006: Awesome sight, great to see 4 together. The Vulcan is responsible for my love of aircraft after seeing one fly at Shobdon in 197x.
