Vulcan route this weekend

Persuaded SWIMBO to go with me and No1 son to Woodford. It was a bloody nightmare once we got there as everyone in Manchester seemed to have had the same idea :shutup: . Anyway, five minutes after we got there we saw it flash past one of the currently being dismantled hangers. 5 minutes later, back it came. Total time in view was about 5 seconds, but still worth it :yahoo: . SWIMBO thinks we are mad and it was a waste of time :mental: . On the down side, getting back took over an hour due to roadworks, idiots, and every bI**dy light being on red.

Still, saw the VULCAN. :thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

You should have come over the other side to Adlington Golf Centre, bloody packed over that side too but the view was brilliant. Got to see the near vertical climb it did over Manchester Airport and the full run in, turn, second pass and with a wave of the wings it went again

Took me an hour to get home too but well worth it

Had the pleasure of seeing her on her northern tour today. I've just noticed though they have released a statement saying they are having a Met brief in the morning about the inbound front and will have a go/no go decision by midday, therefore don't go to your viewing locations until a decision has been made.

I'm well peed off..we are at our caravan in Pickering..been looking forward to this for ages..it was flying from York over to Scarborough..right over our camp.saturday morning up til lunch was crystal clear sky's,lovely and warm..from 1 pm,the clouds came in thick and fast right on time for the fly past.we had cameras and binoculars at ready,stood on the highest vantage point and saw and heard nothing..was gutted.ten mins later a fabulous YouTube vid was posted of it circling Scarborough bay...how we missed it I will never know

I'm seriously gutted.

She flew directly over my garden on the run into Southend, unfortunately as I was only expecting to see a speck on the horizon I hadn't bothered to get the camera out.

It did, however, make a change to just watch the Vulcan rather than look at it through a camera view finder.
