I always love Waddington and the Vulcan.

I live near the Ex-RAF Finningley (Now Doncaster Robin Hood Airport) and the Vulcan used to make yearly trips there, as it was one of the few airfields it could land at (one of the longest runways in the UK at the time).

I was only about 12 when I last heard those awsome engines at full pelt (I was about half a kilometre away but still had to cover my ears at that age!

Oh the memories! Its got me thinking about re-visiting Waddington again this year (the weather last year was a bit tradgic...had to sit in the car to watch the red arrows due to all the rain!)
