The secret star of "James Bond: Thunderball".
I remember from the backyard of my memory that there also was a decent flightsim module for the Vulcan available. Edit: correction, apparently three attempts have been made at the Vulcan since FS8. This seems to have been the most advanced, video available at the bottom of the site : http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=61

What an excellent achievment. Good job.
 It's nice to see a piece of history not being sent to the junk heap.

I only saw one fly once, at Fairford about 15 years ago. I remember feeling a weird sensation in my chest, wondering what it was, then hearing the plane. Now THAT's noise - and it was only taxiiing.

"and it was only taxiing", pretty much sums up the Vulcan really! I've not been fortunate enough to see one fly, but will hopefully get the chance next year! Absolutely fantastic to see such an iconic aircraft do what she does best again...fly!
