The very first Vulcan I remember was at the Odiham open day in the late seventies. My dad was commentating from the tower and this great big shadow fell over us, followed by a tremendous noise, and lots of children crying.
Hmmm - was this 1979? If so, I suddenly feel very, very old*!
I was also watching but I was on 230 sqn then. Now, if only I could remember who did the commentary......
*I was just as scared by the Vulcan, in about 1961 in Farnborough.
Yesterday, as 558 was flying, I sat under the Vulcan in the RAF museum, hoping that the test flight would go well. Glad I wasn't disappointed!
