Awesome - but totally OT.


many years ago I worked in Pontefract and the Vulcan's used to come in
low over the town using the bus staion as a marker. Then they puled the
stick back and pushed the throttle hard forward for a near vertical climb.

I still get the shivers down my spine just thinking about them - fabulous
planes.

Wasn't their last active flying to the Falklands or have I misremembered
that?


It was one of their missions - and they totally failed in that one other
than for moral purposes:-(
