Kirstie said:My in laws live in the Derwent Valley and had two passes for the flypast last Friday. They offered me of of them but I couldn't go - I was particularly disappointed because I think they had an old Vulcan bomber flying too. It was restored at Bruntingthorpe proving ground which is not far from where I live. Earlier this year (I think) they test flew it, which was an amazing sight.
The Vulcan is due to fly at Waddington Air Show (5th and 6th June) this year. Last I saw in the Lincolnshire Echo (about two weeks ago) was that further tests were required before a certificate to fly would be granted ... not heard anything else since, but it's listed as one of the star attractions at this years show. I only live a couple of miles from Waddo, so get all the free practice shows beforehand, and we can see most of the airborne performances on the actual show days.
