This is its last year flying, after which it is hoped it will become a stationary exhibition at Doncaster.

See it while you can!

saw this in Coventry once. Pulled into a large shopping complex, usually very quiet, and the car park was packed of photographers sat on and stood on cars waiting for it to arrive toget their shots. Needless to say I asked what was going on and waited too ! Bloody noisy beast

Another reason to go to Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold to see it for the very last time.

Also appearing at Airbourne.

Last chance to see it but they dont run at full throttle anymore. Basically it cruises round with a small blast of 80% throttle, in order to prolong the flying hours left on the engines. Unfortunately, they are costly beasts to check and rebuild and they cant afford another one. Still worth seeing though.

And it's also appearing at CPOP 2015, looking forward to it

Sadly not at the Festival of Speed this time... Would have been my only chance. Then again, I've seen Vulcans a fair few times in my life, so I don't feel too hard done by.

Jim, what day are you at the F0S?

On the Saturday, RK. Are you going?

Yup, going with Ms RKs brother. Fancy meeting up to put faces to names?

Meet at the Heli pad and you can meet me too

Would love to! Elder, is it worth bringing a Niki Lauda print...?!

It's a plan then. Sort out the arrangements closer to the date?

Yer for sure Jim as my boss will be managing the heli pad so we could chat with him directly

Hurrah! Sounds great! FCCUKFOS!

Back when they were restoring the Vulcan for flight, you could sponsor a component to help fund the restoration.

Now that it's flying days are over, can I have my radar channel change switch that I paid for. Any Doncaster fccuk member with a screwdriver can help out.

A reminder - last chance to see it flying...

Might go to the Swansea one. 11th July.

Got my tickets for RIAT on the Sunday - will be my first time seeing it in the air. Bit of a shame that it can't give it the full beans, but looking forward to it nonetheless

I'll be down to Eastbourne again, I think.

Nice to be local to Headcorn event so will look forward to that

It was supposed to go via Bicester a couple of weeks back but got delayed and missed us in the end

Snapped it over Duxford on Sunday

Mr Vulcan is poppimg down to see me in August! I'll have a good view from my deck chair on the beach.

On display in the Nova Centre Matt?

Three miles further down! The Nova is no more, for now. It is going to rise from the Ashes like a mighty Phoenix and there will be swimming for ALL!

Vulcan: Eastbourne, Saturday 15th, 14:29, Display...

I'll be going in the morning (went in the kit last year but this year it shall be airconditioned Bravo luxury!). I like a free air show!

(Hopefully they leave the bottled sunshine at home!)

Were going to the Headcorn Joint Ops event on the same day.

Saw it last Sunday at the Vintage Festival at Croft Circuit.
Still such an amazing aircraft to watch in the sky and I'd forgotten just how loud they are when opened up a bit!
