Oberon - she's at Manston next Saturday, no rolls but just to hear her is enough to make every hair stand on end. Plans are going well for a further two seasons after this but money is always an issue.

They used to say that the Vulcan could be thrown around the sky like a fighter a third of its size. Able to dodge Delta Daggers and other USAF interceptors during Skyshield and later exercises. Beautiful aircraft.
I doubt I'll get to see her again since the local airshow was rolled up, but I consider myself lucky to have seen a Vulcan three times in my life.
