Isn't it amazing how "Hindsight" affects the vision?
I worked on Vulcans in the early '60s, and never
really got excited or impressed by the things.
They were "Just Vulcans."
I was at a friend's house nr Farnham the other
week and 558 flew over. I was like a kid with a
new toy!
Should know better at my age, but I really was
impressed by it.
I've been doing a bit of thinking about the aircraft
since then, and it really was WAY ahead of it's
time bearing in mind that it was a 1947 (?) design.
Well done to all those at Chadderton and Woodford,
mostly now departed.
And well done to all at the Vulcan to the Sky group.
And Many Thanks.
