Indeed I do! In fact, I suppose we were treated to the two extremes of performance. The Vulcan memory is of being blasted by the noise and staring up the tail pipes as it went up and up and up ... into the clear blue. Marvellous Wx for displays. The opposite end was the Victor B1 take-offs - towards Lady's Mile. Our ops room was about three quarters (or more) down the runway and the B1's used to go past us with their nosewheels still on the runway.... if we were on standby, it used to up the adrenaline level a bit. Mind you, if they hadn't hacked it, I doubt there would have been much for us to pick up
