Notes:

When I decided to visit Brooklands on 13th June, during a weekend in London, I had no idea that I would have the great good fortune for this to coincide with one of the rare engine run ups on the aircraft. Here you see the two engines they ran, at work. Thrilling!

My experience exactly and I couldn't agree more with what you say.

Indeed - stunning experience, but this sad old fart can remember flying on this and several other Vanguards - usually on the LHR-MAN shuttle, and there's still nothing out there to match the space and comfort. They've got the Vulcan flying again, what about a breadvan?
