Pontiflex, been there, had that done to me.

Andonip, the Vulcan only ever made attacks wings level though it did have one attack when climbing at about 8,000 ft per minute. The Canberra and Buccanner and indeed the B47 practised LABS, but not the Vulcan.

See a LABS video here:

Just one last photo from the Saturday....

Dawlish
 

Just heard on the local radio, will now be displaying on Saturday (22nd Aug) at the Dawlish Air Show.

I've seen the B1 Lancer rolled many years ago at Mildenhall but sadly the B1 displays these days (which are rare even in the US) are very tame.

Further to my post above, there are lots of YouTube video of B47 manoeuvres including barrel rolls, labs and Immerman turns with up to 3g.

I was surprised how similar in size it was to a Vulcan albeit lighter and a greater fuel load. Speed and ceiling were not as good though but over 1700 built must have been good

Every weather forecast for Bournemouth (23rd) cites it's pissing it down with poor visibility. Terrible conditions for VFR. :(

Noooooooooooo!

Chopper2004, those images brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing.

Bolleaux to Rolls Royce.

Yup, weather looking good for Saturday on south coast, so I wonder how many people might give Bournemouth a miss on Sunday and head to Shoreham on Saturday instead - if their primary aim is to see the Vulcan for perhaps the last time.

Bournemouth may well have shot themselves in the foot by refusing to book '558 for the Saturday as well, when Shoreham added her for Saturday.

The Bournemouth organisers are crazy for not booking the aircraft for both days. They will have lost a lot of visitors on Sunday, myself included.

I shan't be going to Shoreham but I will be going to either Old Sarum or Goodwood (location depends on the weather at each venue) to give the old girl a final salute. I'd prefer Old Sarum as I'd like to see the Great War Display Team. I don't usually like to watch other people fly (I'd rather fly myself!) but I'll make an exception for those two.

Here's some nostalgia from Waddo, I nicked this from FB:

Goodwood Revival for Saturday/Sunday sold out quite a while ago, so unless you have some very good contacts to gain entry, or intend watching from some distance away.......Old Sarum might be the better bet, regardless of weather.

For those in the Midlands area, She is booked for The Victory Show on Sunday the 5th of September just outside Leicester, it's one of her last shows, if you have not been to this sleeper of a show it is an excellent day out, they have re-enactors galore, the strip is grass and very close to the crowd line, additionally to the smallish airshow (but quality) they have a staged battle in the arena that has in the past covered a couple of fields, you can also wander around trench emplacements and chat to the re-enactors..... I shouldn't hype it up lol as I don't want to queue for a long time, but for those interested see

A couple of examples of what you will see, taken by me :)

Quality '558 photo
 

The guy who took this the other week from up on Beachy Head publically posted this on another forum....one of the best shots I've seen of '558 in a long while :D

Great shot!

The only problem is the Typhoon in its BoB livery won't be making an appearance at Old Sarum. It'll be doing Southend, instead. I wanted to photograph that one livery as its unique and I doubt it'll last for long after this season concludes.

Aaaah Nutty. A pic of Johnny Oddball. IRL a bloody good chap and always willing to stand at the bar for a natter and a couple of pints!

Typhoon is booked for Shoreham but on the Sunday only....and the weather isn't looking too good for that, well not between midday and mid-afternoon at any rate.

Vulcan video
 

I was over in the UK a couple of summers ago and took this video:

Brings back a lot of memories from my days in Wadddington, my first posting!!

GeeRam, the film to that photo

Possible bird strike at about 330?

Nutty, you could be right.

GeeRam, this was posted by Red 10 on Twitter a little while back.

Look at that, the perfect setting for the perfect photograph. Weather and cloud placement is perfect, the boat positioning is perfect, loads of people on the beach, and the old girl doing what she does best in her second life. The Met Office, along with every other weather site I checked said that it was going to be slashing it down all day.

Words can not describe how furious I am, right now. :mad:

I have to say that the way the Vulcan "signed off" at the Bournemouth Show today was superb, at least from where I was standing. It started with the blue noise, up into a 120 degree climbing bank, and then noisily climbed steeply through the patchy clouds, never to be seen at Bournemouth again:{
