Just a tinge of envy here, earliest memories of the Vulcan being as a very drippy nosed B/E at St. Athan 60/61 when they took off after major servicing at the MU. The B/E 2 Wing mess was adjacent to the runway end and the vibration set tables and plates vibrating as power was built up for take-off. The cue for everyone to run out and watch.
Could be why I wear hearing aids today, couldn't have been the Griffons.............could it?
