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!

We had a CCF camp at RAF Waddington in the 1960s when it was home to the
nuclear deterrent Vulcans. One was loud but a flight taking off on one
of the quick-response exercises was awesome. But not as awesome as
sitting in the rear gunner's turret of the last flying Lancaster.
