I remember an incident at the Leuchars Air Show, possibly in 1992. The cloudbase was very low and the Vulcan's normal display of steep climbing turns had to be changed to a very flat display to keep below the cloudbase which was maybe 1500-2000 feet. IIRC there was a moderate cross-wind towards the crowd. The Vulcan did a low pass along the display line then a tight 270(ish) degree turn to the left to bring it back towards the crowd. As it crossed the airfield boundary, it tried to turn right to fly along the display line but either the crosswind component was too high or the turning point was misjudged - maybe both. As I was watching, I thought; there's no way they'll make that turn without stalling. Sure enough, the turn was abandoned and the Vulcan straightened up and flew over the crowd at a low but safe altitude and what sounded like full power. I was directly underneath and it was a sight and sound I'll never forget.
