V- JET FORMATION FOR AIR DAY'S VULCAN FAREWELL
The Avro Vulcan’s final appearance at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day on Saturday 11 July will include a special 'V-Jet Formation' flypast. The famed 'V-Bomber' will be joined by Naval Aviation Ltd's de Havilland Sea Vixen and the Norwegian Air Force Historical Flight's two de Havilland Vampires to present an exclusive four-ship classic British jets flight. While the Vulcan and Sea Vixen's joint flypasts were an outstanding highlight of Air Day 2011, the expanded formation will be a unique spectacle with the Sea Vixen leading the Vulcan with a Vampire on each wing. The thunderous, iconic Vulcan has participated in the majority of Air Days staged since its return to flight in late 2007. Its Air Day farewell will be a sad occasion for many, but this classic jets link-up will give the Vulcan a magnificent send-off.
