I'm usually far more into large commercial aircraft than military stuff, but seeing this particular aircraft was something very special. The only airworthy Vulcan in the world is seen here returning from her first public display since being brought back to life and I have to say, seeing her fly left me stunned. Congratulations to the team who dedicated so much time and effort to bringing this incredible aircraft back to the air, and a heartfelt thankyou to those people for allowing me to take a look back into days of aviation I was born too late to witness. The experience of seeing this beautiful aircraft in the air will be one that stays with me for a very, very long time.
