Ah the good old days.
I remember one of the most impressive, and eerie moments from the Finningley airshow used to be the Vulcan scamble. A few minutes silence followed by the message coming over the tannoy, 'This is the bomber controller, B flight Finningley, scramble, scramble, scramble.' Then 16 Olympus engines started simultaneously and 4 Vulcans thundered off down the runway to disappear off into the blue (or more often grey). Wonderful, just thank god it never happend for real.
