That photo of Vulcan B2 XM571 was taken near Goose Bay on 7 Dec 1978 when we were taking part in a camouflage trial for HQ 1 Group. Another Vulcan crew took the photo with a vertical F95 camera.
Great fun hurtling about over the trees in response to the requests from the photo crew in the other bomber!
We were supposed to fly home a few days later, but had to burn off for a persistent starboard undercarriage red - we finally got back on the 15th but Scampton refused to stay open for the extra few minutes we needed and we were diverted to Waddington. Scampton sent a minibus to bring us back, but Waddington wouldn't allow the driver to drive to the jet - and Waddington drivers weren't allowed to drive Scampton MT! So we had to load everything onto a Waddington bus, drive over to Ops and transfer everything to the Scampton bus......
The camouflage trial was successful and not long afterwards 'Lamb Chop' flew the first dark grey / dark green Vulcan back from its major - how smart it looked!
