More on that Vulcan

Vulcan XH558 and Red Arrows, Dawlish, Devon, England, August 20th 2009

A few weeks ago, a Post featured the Avro Vulcan, a Cold War nuclear bomber returned to flying condition.  Well here it is again, with friends.

Dawlish is a lovely, typical sea-side town in the county of Devon in the SW of England.  It is less than 15 miles away from Totnes in Devon which, for many years, was my local town.

The weather in Dawlish can be delightful – sometimes!

But the setting is perfect for an air show.

More on that aircraft.

Yesterday, there was a Post that showed my German Shepherd sitting in the back of my (ex) Piper Super Cub.  Some readers have asked for more information on the aircraft.

Very happy to oblige.
