Vulcan XH558 at Filton 29-09-12

The Delta wing of 

Avro Vulcan B2

was seen over Filton Airfield

at 16.14.

 This is probably the last time

it will be seen at Filton Airfield.

 It waggled its wings

all along the runway 

in salute

to the closing of Filton Airfield

at the end of the year.

underside.

 What a great sound

and sight.

Thank You all that keep this great

plane flying.
