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.


Awesome indeed. We took our (then) baby son to an airshow at RAF Gaydon
(now the home of Jaguar/Landrover and Aston Martin) in 1975. He screamed
when the Vulcan went over, and I had to put my fingers in his ears!
