Wow......... sorry if my comments offended all you 558 fans.
I also used to enjoy the Vulcan displays when it was in RAF service, and saw it at many airshows. Fact is it will not display like that ever again as the CAA are unlikely to allow it to loop or roll in civvy hands.
I guess I was 'surly' because poor old Dermot of the Beeb was belittled for not mentioning the Vulcan. Well he wasn't there to act as
PR man for 558 so why should he? Vulcan supporters tend to be blind to anything other than their lovely aeroplane, and it seems they are very prickly if someone is slightly critical of them.
I came on this thread because there are some fantastic photos of 558, and I very much enjoy looking at them, they evoke some excellent memories.
