Good shot.
When I was 14 (I'm 56 now) I spent a week with the Air Training Corp at RAF Waddington. Vulcans bombers seemed to be taking off every few minutes some days. I saw the one in your picture (there's only one flying afaik) at Southend Air Show some years ago before it was mothballed for the first time and the pilot launched into an aerobatics display over the sea. Quite incredible to see one of those fly up horizontally like a rocket then dive down!
(Wouldn't be allowed now of course)
