A nice video of a nice aircraft .... but .... if we talk about a "Bulldog" .... I prefer the Bristol Bulldog! :o)

@Basilisk195 Thanks :-D The Bristol Bulldog was a fine plane, are there any still  flying? I still think Scottish Bulldogs are better though ;-o)

Excellent, I was at this airshow just like at Perth. Couldn't have asked for better weather, and East Fortune - what a historic place to hold air displays.

Got some great pics of the Vulcan, first flying visit to the airfield in 25 years, wow.

I wished for the Red Arrows and Eurofighter to attend but still, seeing the last Vulcan back in the sky would bring a smile to anyones face. Terrific airshow

: ))

Yes it was a fantastic day and they were really lucky with the weather after the all rain earlier in the week.. Vulcan was definately the highlight of the day and there was quite a buzz of excitement from the crowd when it approached the field. Shame the Reds and Typhoon weren't there, but the other acts more than made up for their absence. Leuchars next! :-)

@flyingboats21 You was right. In the 1960's or 70's existed one airworthy Bristol Bulldog in England but it had unfortunately crashed in those years.
