An omission of the Vulcan on my part. However, its early displays after its return to flight were actually quite dull. At Sunderland in around 2010 for example, it flew a very sedate display which was basically a few flypasts- no howling, no steep climbs, wing overs etc. I'm pretty convinced it crossed over the horizon at one point. It was only in its latter couple of years that they really started to throw it around and make lots of noise.

Having said that, I'd gladly pay through the nise to see it again!

I always thought a Sunderland Council were missing a trick by not charging a nominal entry free to the show ground which would both bring in a substantial revenue stream but also keep out the human detritus who would turn up with a football and a few bottles of cider who would get progressively more severely sunburned throughout the day!

All ancient history and happy memories now though!
