558, will be flying under a 'Permit to Fly' not a full 'C of A' and has a number of restrcitions placed on her as a result.

However this will not effect the display sequence at all, few more test flights then a period of inspections and she should be available for displays in the new year.

He's got a cracking TV if he can make it zoom onto the runway

To the person who said it was off the tv, it wasn't televised so how it could be off the tv I don't know

I think the black bar at the top during take-off would actually be the top of the window frame of the airfield control tower.

I used to watch these jets flying around SE Scotland in the early 1980's. They were so graceful in flight, which I always thought was a bit ironic considering their purpose -love to see one again.

"Thunderbirds Are Go"...congratulations, awesome, fabulous. I had one display right over my head when I was stationed at RNZAF Base Wigram (NZ)in '72. The pilot stood it on its tail after the last pass and she went vertically out of sight. I won't forget that experience.....of the vibrations going through my body, I was standing right underneath those four pipes as he pulled up from about 800 ft and gave it the berries....

Fantastic, she's beautiful. Well done to everyone who restored her.

Wonderful to see this flying again-got the privilege of seeing a Vulcan at an air show at USAF Carswell (Fort Worth) back in '83, got to go inside the aircraft--impressed me there are no windows to see out--flown by instruments and periscope! Amazing.
