Re: The Last Chance
The map shows it going via Windermere after Carlisle, A nice high view point is what I'm after so might head off up that way. A long way to go with no guarantees though.

Re: The Last Chance
I went over to Samlesbury hoping to get a pic or two, it flew higher than I`d hoped so could only get the blue sky background.

G, Have a look at this site/video. This is the finest flying display I have seen.

Oh, the sound of those Merlins!
I turned the speakers on high and ran it again.
I didn't realise there were 16 flying Spitfires left. What a sight!

Re: The Last Chance
From Cosford today, they had a big attendance, sort of ran out of parking spaces.
1) Slow pass over the runway
2) Climbing away
3) About 1 hour later after more people and cars turned up someone said 'they could get 4 or 5 (cars) in the Hercules'.

Re: The Last Chance
I used to see the Vulcans returning to base in the '70,s.
They were part of the Cold War team. They seemed to follow the A1 south as far as Ferrybridge (where I used to park at night) then turn East towards Lincolnshire.
They had already started to descend by then and was low enough to read the numbers on the side very clearly.
It was an amazing sight and there was always at least four together.
I saw the last Vulcan at Southport air show a few years ago and yesterday sat out in my garden with a 600mm lens on camera and never saw it pass, it must have been more to the west.

It went from Windermere to Manchester, so flew over other side of Blackburn.

Re: The Last Chance
Some fantastic photographs of the Vulcan over RAF Lakenheath, assisted by USAF. One of the comments was actually made during a Red Flag "Climbing to 50 feet" - probably a **** take at the time.
