I saw a Vulcan many years ago at the Biggin Hill Air show. Did you know that the Vulcan sound was used as the sound of the Millenium Falcon spacecraft in the star wars films. I read that somewhere.
That I am not sure

I was at Eastbourne last Monday for the air show there. The two Lancasters and the Vulcan were scheduled to appear but the weather in their area was not good for flying so they could not appear. Due to their great age as the commentator put it.
I tried to get some pictures of the Red Arrows and a P51 Mustang that did appear but I fear I need a better camera than the 4 pixel Canon that I have.Most of the photo's I did get are just dots in the sky ;D ;D
