Default OT The Vulcan Bomber

Today I was working at Finningley the home of this

http://www.vulcantothesky.org/

Just after 3pm it it went into the sky.

The first thing you notice is the noise. It makes more noise just taxiing
down the runway than a commercial jet makes on lift off!

It then flew towards the house (the floor vibrated) and blew the fumes from
it's exhaust into the house as it made it's turn. It smelt like a an old
petrol engine with a manual choke that was too far out.

Awesome - but totally OT.
