Vulcan
I was certainly very impressive.
You were? Wow! Bet the Vulcan wasn't half bad either!
Maybe Oggy can enlighten me.
I was at Belvoir Castle on Saturday - without camera and suddenly at under 1000 feet the Vulcan flew over.
I can only guess it was taking off from the "home " airfield in Leicestershire to fly up to Sunderland, Windemere and East Fortune.
I was certainly very impressive.
I'm surprised the darn thing was flying!
I was hoping to see it at Cottesmore last Friday, but it had tech problems...
Did you enjoy the game fair? I can see the castle from my house, but I've never yet made it!
I was absolutely gutted...
At the beggining there was nothing....
Which exploded....

Had two good days there - It can be a good opportunity for photography in certain areas and a look of opportunities. As the location changes each year on a 4 - 5 year cycle the events and exhibitors do vary.
The Vulcan caused probably 40,000 to look up when the roar started.

No flying display but it made a good noise!
Might have more luck this year. Maybe.
Cheers,

IIRC she had been at Fairford for RIAT the weekend before and would have been in transit up North for East Fortune/Windermere/Sunderland appearances.
With a bit of luck I get to see her three times in August

It's home is Bruntingthorpe. Hopefully at the weekend I will be down there shooting a Subura Event!
Seems about right ... Belvoir is about 30 miles NNE from Bruntingthorpe. May have beeen a little low or did they intend to do over fly at a viewable height above the Game Fair?
