Photos of the Vulcan

The Vulcan finally arrived at 2.30pm yesterday, Sunday 14th June.

It couldn't come earlier due to poor weather at Cholmondley Pageant of Power but I mentioned to get some photos.

Sadly this is the last ever chance to see the Vulcan XH558 in the air locally as it enters its final couple of months of permitted airworthiness due to the irreplaceability of its engines and parts of her airframe, so it is coming to the end of her flying life.

The aircraft has been restored to flight five years ago and kept flying by generous donations of all sizes in a public fund. Sadly no amount of finance can keep her flying after the end of August and
this was your very last chance to see her locally!
