Sunday's was very good and enjoyable too, the departure for Goodwood earlier on was indicative of how many people went for the Vulcan, with a noticeable thickening of the audience. Also interesting to see the opposite effect after the return from Goodwood and the end of 558's display.

Something I had not seen before was Martin's demonstration of a 2 turn upward spiral, done with airbrakes out as otherwise the aircraft goes upstairs so rapidly it practically disappears. 558 currently is sat at Waddo and will depart for Yeovilton on Tuesday.

Leaving Waddington early would have been a bad move, some of the later displays were fascinating, the Vampire pair were immaculate and I watched a Chinook perform manoeuvres that I would have thought impossible for so large a machine.

Now to repair my slightly scorched flesh
