How dare they do that................

Did they not think of the School, Kindergarten, Old People's home, lost animal shelter with cute photogenic puppies and cute kittens home all underneath their flight path.

Oh the sheer inhumanity of this.

Personally think they must ground the aircraft and have an inquiry conducted by Prune's finest down the Dog and Duck, meetings scheduled every Wednesday at 7.30pm to review the evidence and other flight material that may be completely and utterly irrelevant.
Govt will ensure refreshments are provided. :E

After 15 years and thousands of hours of flight viewed the "Committee" announce Yup its probably dangerous so lets meet to decide the punishment and review the evidence again, 7.30pm at Dog and Duck.

FFS............

I'd suggest the punishment be for the perpetrators of such a dastardly deed be sentenced to attending the Dog and Duck at 7.30 PM for time immemorial without the need to buy a round.

What you do depends on your point of view.

I don't see any registration details on the image above, are we sure it is the same Vulcan your honour?

Where can I get a jpeg of that photograph (without the cheesy caption) for my desktop?

Take any phot' of the aircraft and rotate 180 deg.

;)

I seem to remember that the Bruntingthorpe based Victor became airborne whilst doing a fast taxi a few years back. Plenty of eye witness's, video and camera records of the incident and the CAA investigated.

Outcome - I believe a minor reprimand which seems like common sense prevailing.

A precedent maybe for the Vulcan investigation, or is that too much to hope for?

After all, its been done before without incident as the aircraft is capable of doing it without stressing itself to the point of destruction even though it has the highest airframe hours of Vulcan ever built. And no, it was not displaying at the time, so it is said.

P Nav. Not guilty. An open mind never assumes truth.

Apologies to Dave English re photo credit, which is here:- Inner Art of Airmanship Blog | Posting my perpetual pursuit of piloting perfection

rugmunch; invert the photo; did you move the sun?

Just reflection of the sun from flying over a solar farm :ok:

Here you go, without the caption.

2011, 2014, 2015 a lot of phot's while inverted.

Time for a pint I think.

Maybe not such a big deal.

RM, now prove that the succession of stills cobbled in to a barrel roll over Grantham is a genuine sequence.

No chance.

No find a credible observer that can identify the flight as performing a barrel roll.

What would the world be without a bit of "They go Up Diddley-Up, they go Down Diddley-Down", done in the right place occasionally by someone who really knows what they're doing?

You missed the bit about "Govt ensuring refreshment are provided" :E

The bottom line is fairly simple. IF they did execute barrel roll ivo Grantham whilst on a transit then, they should be hammered for it. Especially if it happened post Shoreham. If they had wanted to mess around, they should have done it feet wet where they would have been the only who would have suffered had it gone wrong.

Insenstive to recent events and foolish.

I don't think you can compare it the the accidental Victor take off...

^^^Agreed...:D

Re the Victor take-off..
Well, how about that one about the tech who, after a fast taxi in a Lightning, found himself
flying around, trying to work out how to get it (and himself) down again in one piece?
(Ejection was not an option, apparently - and he had only a PPL).
