I'd love to see one of those one day. I've loved them since I first saw Thunderball.

People can argue which is the best heavy bomber from the early Cold War era, but I don't think there's any question which is the coolest looking.

I remeber watching Thunderball for the first time and thinking "What is this? This thing is awesome!"

I've had a soft spot for the Vulcan ever since.

The first is a Tornado GR4 of 617 Sqn.

The Vulcan is not only a cool looking bomber but also one of the most agile, not many cold war bombers can barrel roll on take off (although prolly not with much more than display crew and fuel). For me the sound of the Vulcan is phenomenal, the best in the business.

Keep 'em coming Jim, I took no pics on the ground and very few in the air.
