None of the crews involved at the time were concerned with the effect they were making on the ground, but my abiding memory of the Vulcans was seeing (and feeling) the Waddington wing doing a survival scramble. I was at Cranwell at the time and on my way to Lincoln and driving past Waddington. There were several aircraft taxiing towards the runway, as one started to roll, the previous one was halfway down the runway and the one before that was just lifting off. Previous aircraft were climbing steeply on divergent tracks. Magnificent.

When I was in short trousers they used to start the Finningley open day like that. I can still feel it now.
When seeing that as a youngster how can you not want to be involved in aviation in some way or another? It's almost sledgehammered into your soul.
And how long afterwards until VMCs were restored?
