I saw the Vulcan fly when it was still in RAF service at the Biggin Hill air show. It flew over the flight line at low level and it was loud...really loud. Then it performed it's party piece, it flew over the flight line at low level with it's bomb bay doors open, I could feel the noise in my chest and I swore the earth was moving.

Some of my money flying around there!

I used to be a sponsor for about 5 years,then i lost faith in her ever flying again...

The first flight she made after restoration gave me gooseskin,the whining howling noise of those air intakes gulping for air,you will never ever hear something simular and impressive!

I saw one in the R.A.F museum,i had no idea they were that big!

Aye, the Vulcan is a big bugger alright. My other half is 5'2.5"
This is her standing next to the nose of the Vulcan at the RAF Museum:
