A hallowed site indeed, and far too many years since my last visit. No to the brat-dung Mogul but the Brunswick Green was much better. Even the Apple Green interloper was acceptable.
Sorry about the OT interlude.

I did suggest t'other half kept her eyes peeled in case we saw the Vulcan on the way down. I wasn't entirely serious as I didn't really know where Brize was, apart from Oxfordshire somewhere. Fortunately she spotted it after we arrived, only a few seconds but as we don't think there'll be another chance for us this year, it will do.

Anti-flash white would be good. My first airshow and clear memories of a static white Vulcan. Bassingbourn, September 1958 and all of 6 and a bit years old. A lasting impression. It may have flown too but I don't remember.
