Doees anyone happen to know if the Vulcan and Spitfire were ever photographed in formation together, before the Vulcan retired from service?
If so the shot will be just as rare as those of the 3 Vs together taken as we launched them out of Boscombe Down for some Battle of Britain fly pasts 1957.

Nice, but the old shot mentioned above over Finningley is much nicer! A "real" in-service Vulcan over an operational Vulcan base... ahh sheer nostalgia!
