@lonelywolf1966 They certainly did. Both aircraft also flew at this year's RIAT but didn't taxi up the runway together this time (although the B52 flew overhead whilst the Vulcan was waiting at the end of the runway to take off).

I am glad you enjoyed it. I was part of the B-52 aircrew that day!

[Thunderchief35]

Nice to hear from you. Didn't you do a display in Spain before returning in the afternoon?

[cervelo01]

Yes indeed! Vigo Spain...the beach was quite an incredible sight! It was a short 6 hours flight.

[Thunderchief35]

I dare say the weather was a bit better over there!

[cervelo01]

Sky clear with a million miles visibility...sorry you guys were under the rain during our display.

awesome video.. amazing to see XH558 with the B52... shows the sheer size of the B52... but no challenge for the sheer beauty of XH558!

[Thunderchief35]

The size of the B52 is shown by the fact that the outrigger wheels extended out over the edge of the runway! The Vulcan is truly an incredible looking aeroplane though.

Hope you dont mind me asking but how much did you pay to sit where you are there?? I went to the show on Sunday.

Pre ordered they were £19:95 I think. The view was generally good apart from the other grandstand whcih somewhat blocked the runway and pillocks who insisted on standing up from time to time.
