Wellesbourne Thunder Run part 2

This was the real point of the day.....the high speed taxi!

Power on


Nose up (airbrakes already coming out, and throttles closed....pity  ::))


Brakes!


What a sight, and what a noise. Everyone cheered and clapped. It's a real shame there isn't one of these in the air at the moment, I'm not much of a one for jets, but she's a beauty!  8)

I've got it on video too, which I may YouTube if I ever get the time  ;)

That's a very smart looking Vulcan.

Awesome. Lets just hope that Vulan to the Sky get their act together and get one of these amazing machines back in the air.

Amazing!

Really awesome - cant wait to see XH558 back in the sky!  :o

Well, later this year is the date, ready for next year's airshow circuit!

Nice shots, what a plane.

Sorry everyone for bringing this thread back from the dead  :-[. I thought it would be the best way of capturing the attention of those who may be interested.

My PC has had some ongoing health issues and it has taken me a while to get this sorted, but here it is, for those of you with a fast connection, or endless patience....

Terrific shots, but talk about frustrating!! Rotatus interruptus...it sure would be nice to see it fly.

Well looks like we may never get that opportunity again....however, if it's the takeoff you want to see then have a look at the videos on this page, there is a takeoff shot of XH588, truly inspirational!:
