For those of you who like "real/proper" aircraft you may or may not know that the Vulcan will be back in the air sometime in May from Bruntingthorpe......celebrating 25 years since the Falklands war.
If you dont know what a Vulcan is then try going to youtube and typing in "wroughton vulcan" and you can see her fly,having seen them do this manouver on several occasions it made the hair on my neck stand on end just watching it ,apart from the size of it the noise in real life is deafening and always a crowd pleaser ! You can also visit the website by typing in TOVC. Look out for a news item in May as it will be covered internationally.

Awesome! I knew they had one it taxiable condition, but that's great that it's going to fly again. By the way, if anyone has trouble getting to the website, it's actually TVOC. ;)

Correct it is TVOC (sorry about that it's an age thing)...mind you from the replies the post got most of our readers probably havent a clue what a Vulcan is apart from the one off Star Trek!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Cool video, the Vulcan is my Dad's favourite aircraft as he has told me he used to watch them flying around real low at an airbase in Linconshire, England when he was younger. He took me to the RAF Henderson (In London) mesueum to go inside one a few years back too- love the HP V series!
