Fascinating program, made more poignant as I watched the Vulcan from
a bridge on the M3 yesterday.
I think the 30 minute display centred on Odiham, breaking South toward EGHH.
I spoke to the spotters who stake out Farnborough (best view from the
AAIB entrance) but they were unaware of her movements.
One said that she was stranded here late last year, which I didn't know!
I mentioned before that I had dinner with a Vulcan pilot a couple of years ago.
He sat "hot" on the runway one night for 45 minutes before being
ordered to stand down!
He was quite reticent to talk much about it!
best wishes to all
Kev
