Fantastic What a great sight to see

Fantastic to see it in the air again.

I was lucky enough to get an air-to-air view of one of the last Vulcans when I met it in a glider in '91 and it was truly awesome.

What a wonderful project. You need a lot of passion for something like that.

It will have been THE last flying Vulcan in that year....and the last flying Vulcan was this one....558

saw it on the news tonight.....looked awesome....

Cannot believe it is nearly 60 years old, still looks like a fresh design today

My mum and mother in law saw it fly over Market Harborough.....lucky buggers.

I would of loved to have seen the first flight because I remember seeing the last one.....ow well, saw it on Sky News.

Strange to think that it was also the first Vulcan B MKII as well! Shows just how well engineered and designed it was I guess

Hopping between BBC news, ITV news and News 24 tonight - no sign of it

Wanted to see it on TV not on a little video

Not happy with the BBC who cares about ITV ripping off phone users, who cares about most of the news - this was important

 :)Not a big aviation fan but the pics are pretty impressive. I saw the Lancaster fly over Coningsby a few years back when i lived in Tattershall. It was'nt very high up, moved slowly andwe stood right under it wondering how it stayed up at such a low speed. There's another @ E Kirkby airfield that taxis but no longer takes flight. Sorry,no pics but it was breathtaking.

I can't remember the year, probably 91 or 92, it must have been 558 which did a fly past over the Rolls Royce factory in Bristol where I worked.  A beautiful afternoon, looked up and there she was.  Absolutly forking awsome.  And we've got our own Concorde (216)  Saw that one on it's final flight.  A very memorable sad day.
