Woodford: Loud plane just took off.

I thought Nimrods (if that's what is was) have stopped being produced.

Anyone know what just took off?

Thanks

Yes Very Also it seems to be that the runway is now used for police dog training.

Maybe BOAC

Possibly the Vulcan on a low-level transit to the Southport Airshow.

Yes it was the Vulcan. Went along to the Adlington end to watch and was treated to a beautiful view. Low pass from the SW and an orbit to return whence she came......

Woodfords runway is blocked off, nothing but light aircraft could get in & out at the moment.
