Nice one Dave, thanks... |
|
I lived near Kineton until I was 10 and we used to regularly see |
|
them at very close quarters. It flew over here a couple of |
|
years ago at a very low level, banked around and they opened the |
|
throttle and off it went - stunning. One of these taking off is |
|
something to behold. |

It arrived at 3:15pm. I was at the end of the old runway, on a |
|
country lane ;D |

The road near to the bunkers, that may - or may not - have |
|
stored the 'nuclear deterrent' at the time the Vulcan was |
|
stationed at Gaydon. |
|
Good choice. Ten minutes and 4 fly pasts over the Heritage Motor |
|
Centre. |

A local talked about the bunkers, explaining where they were :) |
|
I decided that the HCM would be rather busy and the end of the |
|
runway a better choice (and cheaper). |
|
Thanks for the link to the news report 8) |
