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.
