Vulcan mass take off from Akrotiri
Sometime during my tour at Akrotiri (1972 or 1973)there was an AOC-inC's inspection culminating in a mass scramble of Vulcans, some 12-14? if memory is to be trusted.
The last one was hauled sharply into the air and there was much intaking of breath by many around me when the A/C was banked hard to starboard with very little ground clearance evident. Anybody see/hear about the event? or was there?
That definitely started my love affair with the aircraft, realised last year with the return of 558. What a showman's aircraft.....always end up with tears down my face....
