gary1701 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Gents, Enroute to Clacton this afternoon, XH558 was booked into Wattisham for a private on base event. The good news with a Vulcan display is that everybody nearby gets to see it as well! As I don't do many of the big shows, I've only seen it a few times since it's been flying again, and all were fairly subdued performances, which was frustrating as I was hearing that at some events it was being flown in a far more lively way. Today was the best I'd personally seen, with a couple of powerful climbouts followed by vertical banked wingovers. I imagine half of Suffolk heard it, which given that there was no publicity for a private event and that many NIMBYs around here expect to exist in a time warp, I guess the phones and emails at Wattisham will be busy for a few days! Fantastic performance in my opinion. Weather was a bit 'off', so this is the best I got. Gary Edited September 1, 2012 by gary1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Great photos! Not sure what the NIMBYs would complain about, that's a perfect late 1970s time warp right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
