Surely not,

I did, and rest assured no Vulcan display in the 70s came near what 558 did today, probably down to a lighter aircraft due to the removal of not required for flight equipment. As a techie at Akrotiri in 1973, and needing to get home to get married, I abandoned all hopes of a lift with the Air Transport fleet and managed to get a lift to St Athan with a 9 Squadron crew. Having done 5000 hours flying in the back of Albert since, the Vulcan experience back to my wedding, was nothing more than a few hours in the dark. But 558 was a star at Fairford today.
