Driving back down the M40 on Sunday, suddenly there was an amazing sight of a Vulcan bomber right in the middle of a steep turn - where they just seem to be hanging sideways in the air for ages not moving. Fantastic and really close to the road. This is not my shot but it was like this ---
Drove on a bit and the whole area was in gridlock and a 5 mile tailback the other way and people hanging on every bridge and vantage point to see.
Bit of googling and I see that this was the third from last ever flight of a Vulcan Bomber, and the last operational one is being grounded after its final two flights next week.
It was great to see and I am so pleased we just came along at the right moment. End of an era.
