I remember this Vulcan coming into Wellesbourne for the first time in 1984, when I was a lad, living in nearby Hampton Lucy. It is the loudest aircraft I have ever heard. I'm glad so see it's moving even if it's not flying.
If you would like to see an excellent video of it actually doing its high speed run the following day type "XM655" into the search without the inverted commas

I shot this in August 2006 I think, it was being tested for the annual high speed taxi up & down the runway.

Hi,
When was this video shot?
I know it's doing crew training for the crews of XH558 which will hopefully fly next year.
