Vulcan flying over Farnborough today

I've a general interest in aviation - used to fly planes, and I admire the skill and craft of modellers, but could never be that dedicated to it myself.

 

cracking shots and what a shame them girls got inthe way:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

You could always use a model 'copter flying inverted to cut the grass....

 

for some reason I thought a vulcan was off star trek then...

 

I don't know the first thing about planes but I LOVE them! Years ago there was a big air show in Parma my home town for the anniversary (don't remmebr which) of the Italian air force (yep, we have one :D), and there were plenty of planes of all sizes,ages, shapes and colours,itwas breathtaking and faboulous beyond words. They had also contrievedtopark a Tornado in the town main square.... the medieval and classical buildings, old cobbled roads, Garibaldi Statue... and a Tornado, can you imagine it?!!!!
Wow!!
We have three different airports close to home now, now and then the american boys fly pretty low over the fields, I don't know I am more worried or enthranced.

 

The air shows of the future? :D I havent really watched it.

 

Maybe cos the Vulcan isn't fitted with afterburners!!

Except for one they used as a test bed for the Concorde engine, they mounted the Concorde engine under the bomb bay , they could fly the plane on just the single Concorde engine which did have afterburners.

 

I did not want to mention the fact that the Vulcan does not have afterburners. But what I can mention is I was at Farnbourgh when they flew that beast and I have a picture of it somewhere on my desktop. Woiuld you like to see it?

 

Sure, always happy to see the Vulcan

 

Same here,A Crying shame she never made it over the weekend tho:(
