Not quite in the same league perhaps but I have fond teenage memories
of seeing, and hearing, the Avro Vulcan that was the testbed for the
Concorde Olympus engine flying over my home town. That was the same
place I used to cycle to the airport (Locking) to watch T21s winch
launch and the Auster giving pleasure flights. I got hooked on flying
then but it took another 15 years to start to live the dream.
