Here are a few photos i have recently taken of the last remaining airworthy Vulcan - XH558 'Spirit of Great Britain'.
The photos were taken at this years RAF Waddington Airshow.

The cockpit...looks cramped in there!
The Worlds only flying Vulcan |
 |
| Sat bathing in the sun, the suns rays glinting on her fuselage, awaiting her display |
 |
| The Engineers finishing final preps before she can take off |
 |
| Olli, enjoying the show and enjoying the Vulcan! |
 |
| The BBMF, Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire tip their wings in salute |
 |
| On the taxi way |
 |
Passing an old friend. XM607, the only Vulcan to drop bombs in anger. This was the Vulcan that attacked
Port Stanley airfield in the Falklands conflict
|
 |
| The menacing look of the Delta wing configuration.. |
 |
| The display took her to the wire...here she is inverted! |
 |
| Rolling out of her inversion... |
 |
| Bomb bays shut as she rolls out... |
 |
| Low level past the crowd |
 |
| Bomb bay doors open. These once held Britain's Nuclear deterrent... |
 |
| These photos should be scratch and listen,,,the noise and the 'howl' from the olympus engines are something else! |
 |
| She is owning Waddington! |
 |
| Final flypast, wings glinting in the sun.. |
 |
| Back down to earth as Ollie watches engrossed. XH607 visible in the background |
 |
| Rolling back to the stand.. |
 |
| XH558 'Pride of Great britain', we salute you! |
