Re: Aluminum Overcast

There are only 3 planes I can instantly recognise, apart from Concorde which I won't be seeing again. They are the Spitfire, the Lancaster bomber and the Vulcan. I got mildly excited and not a little nostalgic when all 3 flew very low over our house one day, a good few years ago, when Barton Air Show was on.

My husband used to work on the computerised navigation/bombing systems in V-Bombers, when he was in the RAF, and he was pleased to see the Vulcan until it got right overhead. Then he looked up at it and said, with disappointment, "We used to keep them a lot cleaner than that, in my day".
