Notes:

Having studied the Vulcan’s display pattern I wanted to ensure I had the optimum view at RIAT, my last opportunity to see it fly. Totterdown Hill campsite turned out to be perfect location, right inside the post-take-off turning circle. The crew for the occasion were Bill Ramsay (as captain), Kev Rumens and Phil Davies.
