[reheat]

Dashed out the house to the River but he was near the Humber Bridge, some 10 miles from me in East Hull. Damn.

[Mayfly]

I saw her over Metheringham airfield about 14.07 very quiet and sedate but still good to see her.

Hi guys. I watched her take off and land back with my Mum and Dad who remember very well the times when 6 use to scamble from Finningley. They had a great time, very nostalgic for them, they loved that howl:-) thanks to my bro Bobby jo for the updates. Best rgds. T1

Amazed no-one's spotted this... http://fr24.com/VLCN

[zero_gravity]

Yes , she climbed well above 10K at one stage which allowed the FR network to catch her
Now well below that , but still solid on PP

Great to see that she can exceed the 10K level if conditions permit.

[John W]

She went to 13K at one stage, at which point the throttles were opened, and the Vulcan howl could be heard 10 miles from her then position.

John.

[Mayfly]

That was abeam of me south of Waddington. I could hear her long after I lost sight.

[jamesg23]

Is the vulcan retirning to doncaster today?

[POL]

Yes , she climbed well above 10K at one stage which allowed the FR network to catch her

FR had it at 3000ft at one point, they've had even low in some parts of the UK at well it seems!

[Hurn]

Still no Vulcan sightings for me this year, but I did just see the other big four engined Avro.

[jamesg23]

Just seen to the east of sleaford. FR 24 was showing the vulcan below 3000ft over waddington way.
