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.

When I was a lad I used to stay at my Uncles farm during the summer holidays near
Retford, one day whilst combining in the field a Vulcan flew very low overhead, apart
from seeing every detail of it's undercarrage I think I have been somewhat deaf
eversince.

Indeed. Stealth bombers seem to have come on a lot since those days.
