I attended the show in 1986 whilst undergoing recruit training at Swinderby - we were employed on traffic control and car parking duties and such like. Some extremely impressive displays but the one that sticks in my mind is the Vulcan which, as it got off the ground, went what appeared to be near vertical. The ground shook, a few car alarms went off and every person looked skywards to see this majestic aircraft doing it's thing. The memory has stayed with me ever since. Coincidentally, it will be 32 years served on 5 Aug and other than my back seat ride in a Tornado which was exceptional, it remains the best aircraft moment I have seen or experienced.
