I remember being at Milford Sound, NZ, in the early 70's when a Vulcan came down the canyon for a low pass then flew down the sound out to sea, a few minutes later he was back going quite quick, pulled up over the hotel for a quick circuit of Mt Tutoko for another pass, this time much lower, much, much faster and disappeared in a cloud of kerosene smoke and stink that took hours to dissapate, the sound eventually died away too!

A Vulcan almost came to grief at Wellington, NZ, when one undercarriage leg contacted the stop bank at the end of the runway. No doubt others will post of that incident.
