"Does anyone know if the Vulcan did anything more than a straight flypast at Bournemouth today?"
No it did not even fly past. Flew North-South at 4000 feet and was not seen again.
What a complete load of rubbish.
Don't know where you were viewing from but where I was standing, it came in low at about 200-250ft from the direction of IOW, flew up to B/mth pier, turned round, flew another flypast and then opened the taps and powered off in a rage of noise in the direction of Dawlish.
Not bad for a flypast if you ask me.
Anyone coming for the weekend, make sure you stand between Boscombe and Bournemouth piers for the best viewing.
