So there i was, hanging the washing out and the Vulcan Bomber flew over my house.

I would not bother saying anything but it is the only one left in the world that fly's.

Things you see in Wigan eh?

Southport Airshow mate

I presumed it was somthing along those lines (well i am certian we aint attacking the argies again!)

I was like a little kid in my back garden when i saw it!!



Its made me happy!!

Where abouts you live? I heard something before and didn't have a clue what it was. Thought we were under attack

Springfield. Hodges street.

I'm brocket way so sounds about right.

Was it as thunderous as Feka going in under the sticks?

It was up there with Feka after a Santibag Curry

red arrows flew by earlier on too

I saw it fly at an Air Show in Broughton a few weeks back. Its an awesome sight and sound!

They are often based here in Blackpool, and scare the bejabers outta you when they go over unannounced....

It is.

I felt all proud when i saw it fly past!.



I had 10 years in the armed forces and have seen plenty of Aircraft. But to see such an Iconic thing as a Vulcan made me get all patriotic!

Time vortex!!!!!!

been a few flying over ours all weekend.

i once went to the airshow....awesome, but gets boring after a bit.

and if anyone thinks the sound of the red arrows going over is noisy, what about the fighter jets that train around north wales?

i once went to RAF Valley in anglesey, where they are based. Theres a spot you can stand in at the end of the runway.
you can watch them accelerate along the runway coming directly at you, then at last second they take off and fly straight over your head with a deafening roar..........not for the faint hearted

i saw the vulcan at the dawlish air show in august. the pilot came in and then went vertical at full throttle. i could feel my fillings rattling!

The red arrows flew past the academy game yesterday.

The Vulcan may not get chance to fly much longer, these type of aircraft rely on sponsorship to allow them to operate, i believe so far the Vulcan hasnt had any offers. Its Awesome www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wSNxC4P ... re=related

Remeber seeing a Vulcan flying over Rochester Airshow in Kent just before or after the Falklands war, feckin awsome sight, came down low and opened its bomb bay doors

Just got back from the airshow, it was great. Last chance to see the Vulcan fly at one of those i think though unfortunately (as hogan says) as it costs about £1.5 million a year to keep it up there. A great shame imo as it is fantastic to watch at low level. Like you say, a very loud aircraft, although the Typhoon trumped it on that card. Bloody deafening that thing is and extreemely impressive to watch. Will post one or two picks from my phone when i get a chance.

I was once on the forecastle (pointy end) of HMS Richmond up in Scotland.
We were up in Loch Fyne doing some trials.

I was having a crafty fag in front of the gun so the bridge could not see me and all of a sudden the was a load ROAR!!!!!!!!!! like i have never heard before. I honesly thought it was an explosion and i hit the deck like Jon wilkin after a slap from Keith Senior. The cigarette (still in mouth) now resembled an acordian hanging out my mouth.

It was a Typoon doing very low level flying (about 200 ft so i am led to beleive) right over the top of us. It scared the be-jesus out of me i tell you.

When i stood up i noticed that everyone around (about 20 blokes) were scattered all over the shop!. The pilot obviously spotted us and thought he would have some fun.

loud is not the word for those things

The Vulcans are attacking? Crap. Where's the Klingons when you need them?

Hows about [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAfQwDizpRothis[/url?

Was walking into town after the reserve game and mentioned it to the missus as it roared overhead. "What's a Vulcan?"

Red Arrows flew over my house yesterday.

Remember seeing the Vulcan at the Barton Airshow (same aircraft XH55icon_cool.gif before it was grounded..the announcer said they would try to keep the noise down due to complaints from the previous year.................from Birmingham
