It should definitely be flying alongside the Vulcan. But to complete my dream there would also be a Canberra, a Buccaneer and an English Electric Lightning flying past then straight up into the clouds on full re-heat. | |

I can remember the Victors of 55/57 and Vulcans during the Falklands conflict the Vulcans I remembered as difficult at war (thank goodness it was never used in nuclear warfare) The Victors though despite even at the time 10 years before retirement had high fatigue but were easy and suffered relatively few problems during the hot weather. The HDU's still sometimes became unserviceable but they did at home. I have fond memories even in normal service my favourite memory was nearly getting killed by XM715 I wa... read more » | |
