Apparently the news these two were flying out of Waddington with Spitfire escort, followed by the Vulcan, saw the local roads getting blocked up with sight sears. Rather like when we were told that Steam on the mainline was not of great enough interest to be bothered with, the facts prove otherwise. These things are working social history and it needs a clever way of funding them to keep them working. For older folk the propeller planes mean a lot, but to the younger, who have never experienced a Vulcan, the pretty raw power contained in the grace of the airframe stunned. It lives up to its name. Not having a working Concord is a travesty. Where ever it went at airshows in generally stole the show. An Empires last throw of the dice, perhaps. I glad my Dad had a hand in it.
