Anyone off to the airport to see XH558 fly past at 2.26?
No, but I dont live far from it, whats it doing?
So Just flying over the Airport?
Might pop over.
Yes it will be. There's a Vulcan open day for XL426 today too. It did a taxi run yesterday too
Doing a fly over. Will be retiring from service this summer so doing a tour of the uk this weekend. Until you've seen a Vulcan in the air, you've seen nothing. It's a truly amazing sight

Just to be clear, it retired from military service years ago. It has been restored and flown at airshows etc for the last few years. The problem is funding. Most of the backers have pulled out because it is so expensive to keep in the sky, and so it has effectively been grounded.
Awesome! Can you search it?
Yes, you can climb in the cockpit etc
Maybe I should have dropped in at the airport. My neighbour and I watched it from our back garden (we're only 5 mins from the airport) and we were a bit underwhelmed. Not sure what I was expecting but one pass and that was that and not that noisy. Perhaps EasyJet have deadened our senses a bit.
You really need to see it do a few banked turns to really hear it and to see how ominous and scary it is. Fantastic airplane.
