Well I am so very glad I had the time to get down to Farnborough today. An awesome sight and sound - what a wonderful aircraft, the Vulcan! Well done to FAST for organising, and TAG for accommodating.

Very sad to hear that was possibly the only opportunity I'll ever have of seeing the Vulcan in flight. Rumour has it that RR are getting cold feet about continuing support for the engines, so that may leave her grounded after the return to Bruningthorpe. Desperately sad if true - especially after the herculean efforts of all concerned to get her back in the air.

Thanks to those who suggested the Swan - great view, good food and beer! It was a great place to meet up with some good friends, and have conversations with other enthusiasts.
