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. -- Adam |

Any chance you can take this private! I wasn't aware of it going to Scarborough, I made a trip to Blackpool to see it and the weather cancelled it, the rest of the displays are in the Deep South, Far West, Irishland or Scottishland, none of which are of any use to a large swathe of the country. Unfair! This is pretty central, or at least reachable by motorway and truck road: http://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default/...6%20August.pdf Make that 'trunk' road a.k.a. A14. -- Davey. |

It would be better all round if they flew it up to Leeds and spent a few hours throwing it around the sky here! -- F |

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. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

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. Andy |
