What about Moscow ?

Many people have wondered why we have not included Woodford in tomorrow’s sortie. We have already flown over Woodford this year, on Sunday 9th September - the nearest date that we could make to the exact 60th Anniversary of the Vulcan's first flight on 30th August 1952. Sadly, we were unable to make any prior announcement of this overflight, because the new owners of Woodford Aerodrome specifically requested us not to, citing concerns about crowds on local roads, and their current sensitivities over planning applications for the site. For these reasons, and because of the extra fuel (and therefore cost) required, we decided not to add Woodford to tomorrow’s sortie. |
Here is one of the Vulcans landing at RAF Halton. There is also an article in a late 60s Air Clues in the RAF Club Library - makes a fascinating read on how they did it :ok:
