Default OT Only one job to do today and the Vulcan Bomber

So I will time the job for 3pm when the Vulcan takes off close to back of
the house I am working at - and I'll take the gf's lad to see it.

BTW the Vulcan will be in Bournemouth at about 4pm if anyone from the
newsgroup lives there. This new display was only anounced last night.

Or it could bomb Rotherham I suppose ;-)

I'm fairly certain a saw a Vulcan flying over my back garden in North
Manchester when I was small. My dad told me it was a Vulcan Bomber, it
was a black triangle such as I had never seen before.

It was much the same time as any helicopter seen was Basil de Ferranti
commuting to work.

Not bad. It left Doncaster at 14.40. Gf's lad looked a little bored as we
waited. He cheered up when it took off - he loved the noise.

You've just cost me £££s!

Tickets for both Duxford days (Vulcan Saturday, BBMF with two Lancasters
Sunday - I need to hear the noise on both days) booked and paid for plus
hotel.

I was at Duxford today.

Beware there may be _very_ long queues. One guy suggested turn up at 6.
They'll open at 8, but you'll get in...

BTW my wife was weeding the other day, and heard something loud. very
loud. Then the Vulcan appeared over the house. I've tried to work out an
altitude, but certainly under 1000ft - possibly a lot under.

Might be even more cheerful if he has a look at this:

After the show in Bournemouth it will be directly diverted to nuke Moskow.
