Ahhhh, the Vulcan howl.... (Starfighters did that too, weren't they known as Hooters?)

My sister is nuts about the Vulcan after seeing it flying at Lee-on-Solent in the 1980s... She keeps asking me when it will fly again, and is always keen to impart her knowledge that its air intakes are bifurcated, something her children think is rather rude...

Gosh, this thread has drifted a long way down-wind but then, hey, it's nostalgia!
