Just a few from yesterdays display of XH558, Sadly my camera was having some small problems during the day with the exposure so I've tried my best to sort these out without loosing any quality etc:

Thanks for Looking & comments welcome!

Superb shots,brings back memories of the first time I ever saw the Vulcan with a pair of test bed Olympus engines added underneath at an air show at Farnborough centuries years ago. The engines were being tested prior to their intended use on Concorde eventually. I vividly still recall trying with a 35mm Kodak to get a shot as it lit afterburners on all engines and went nearly vertical. the shockwave and vibration nailed me and other "snappers" to the ground unable to move or hear for the rest of the day.
