It flew on saturday. It seemed to take off quite late though, as a lot of people were already leaving when it took off. Got a few shots of it while it was flying and when it came in to land also.
I was quite upset by the fact that the Raptor wasnt there.

Yeah - she was the one that I was really looking forward to seeing. Having said that, I've seen her at a few displays in recent years. Also, we lived at Scampton for 6 months in 1980, so no shortage of Vulcans there! I remember as a 10 year old being woken up when they ran night time manouvers!

When I was a very young child I used to have a recurring nightmare in which I was being chased by a Vulcan. It was one of those when I ran but didn't go anywhere, and this huge, huge thing gradually descended and enveloped me. It was terrifying.
This photograph is full of brooding menace. You can imagine how I feel when I looking at it!
As an aside, I found that when I kept my head under the bed covers, the nightmare didn't occur, so that is how I slpet for years. Many years later I slept one night with my head out of the covers and I had the identical nightmare again. I woke up and a jet plane was flying over the house. Everything fell into place. Until I was age of 5 or 6 we lived under the Stansted flightpath...
