Vulcan

I’m so pleased to see that the last remaining Vulcan bomber has finally flown again. It’s taken fourteen years to restore it to this state, and to me it’s just a marvellous thing.

Seeing Vulcan’s flying is something I remember from airshows and holidays before – we used to go on holiday where a lot of the test flights and training flights were done, over the Bristol Channel – and it’s always been wonderful, in a similar way to how seeing Concorde used to be a wonderful sight.

Even on the ground, Vulcans are an impressive thing – but in the sky, well, there’s just nothing to match the sight. Long may this one continue to fly at shows and the like.
