Re the Vulcan flying. There is one currently being restored back to flying condition. Check www.tvoc.co.uk.
They hope to have it back in the air for the 25th anniversary of the Blackbuck missions over the Falklands.
On the subject of being buzzed by low flying aircraft, I was sent to RAF Fairford in 2003 as part of the security detachment when the B52 bombers were flying from there to go and say hello to Saddam.
In our moments of boredom, we would go and stand at the end of the runway as they took off. The noise as they flew over at what seemed like a few feet above our heads was incredible.
It was quite amusing watching the peace protestors start jumping about when the Buffs took off as well. They would start to wail, wave their arms about and call us guardians of the Imperialistic angels of death.
Each to their own opinion, I suppose.

well its a dirty job but someones got to do it. Bet that wasnt on the job description though and I think that would look good on your C.V :lol:
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I've been called a lot worse.
It has to be said that it was a real eyeopener. Gawd knows what the end bill was for the security operation, but I do know that the UK taxpayer coughed up. I also learnt not to trust any young American service personel, armed with an M16.
On a lighter note, I've just seen the video clip of the low flying Spitfire. The phrase 'cutting the grass' springs to mind.

watching these videos is making me want to go to an airshow! :shock:
