A few more pictures of the Vulcan - back in the air after so long.


Thanks for getting those pictures. I hope it comes to the USA
sometime for
a big air show.

I applaud those dedicated people that got it back into the air. That
is one of the planes I though were gone forever from the ranks of the
flying.

Is it incredibly loud? How about afterburners? Did they use them?

I noticed it was very smoke free, compared to the other planes of

that
time. Must be some good new technology engines accounting for that.

Again, thanks!


Saw a Vulcan 20-odd years ago, not painfully loud, but enough beef to
make your chest cavity shake.
According to the heroes that rebuilt it,( www.tvoc.co.uk ) they

managed
to obtain new engines!
