I've never seen the Blackbird, but I used to live at RAF Mildenhall, which was used for operational flights - if Halcyon thought the Victor was loud, you should have heard the Blackbird taking off (always at night), it was felt, rather than heard.....
If the Vulcan is going to be at Waddington air show, this year I am seriously going to try & get to see it, I just hope they let the pilot do some of the more extreme manoeuvres it is capable of
