Well, thanks to the good folk at 655MaPS, thousands enjoyed a close encounter of the Olympus 300 kind (x4) as Vulcan XM655 did a couple of runs along the RW at Wellsesbourne Mountford aerodrome.

BBMF also gave a flypast with the Lancaster, a Spitfire and a Hurricane - excellent! As was the P-51 which gave the characteristic scream during its manoeuvres.

As a fully paid-up overgrown schoolkid, I also sat in the cockpit of Hunter FGA9 XE597 - first time since 1976! Sadly only the cockpit remains, but it's in excellent condition thanks to the 'trade training' donated by a certain RAF unit!
