Its gorgeous beyond words! I've seen 558 a number of times, and its a religious experience having that thunder over your head on reheat. Gorgeous.
That is on my too buy list, along with TLUKs Lightning.

Great pics Trev.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the old Vulcan

Me too.  My uncle used to work as a navigator in them before the Falklands War.  I saw one fly at an airshow once.  The plane is definitely a sight to see.

I have some old 8mm film my dad shot at RAF Finningly way back in the 70's of a four Vulcan scramble, just awsome . Sadly no sound though . I've seen 558 loads of times and it is very much missed at airshows today. Two planes used to be true show stoppers at airshows, the Vulcan and the EE Lightning and both are now gone from British skies.
Someone buy me a ticket to Thunder City!!

Oh, and those screen shots are just awsome.

They stopped flying the Lightning??  What happened?

[Blade]

It was retired a long while ago, and the only flyable one isn't flying, the MOD doesn't want it to.

I remember it was retired in the '60s (or thereabouts).  I remember seeing it fly at airshows in the '70s.  By the time I was in the ATC the British fighter was the Jaguar (at least that's what #1 Squadron was flying at RAF Lossiemouth when I was there).  I love the look of that plane too.   Are they still using the Jaguar?
