Vulcan over middle of Charlbury 17:10hrs!

The fuel bill for those 4 Olympus engines must be eyewatering for the association that runs it, though it was being remarkably quiet as it went overhead obviously throttled down for a flypast downhill. I remember in the 70s being on a ridge with Janet in Snowdonia when one went flying along underneath us in the valley and put on full power to go over the ridge - my ears rang for a quarter of an hour at least.

The Vulcan isn't based at Brize

It was displaying at Abingdon, for its movements check vulcan to the skies

If you were luckily out in the garden or the park the preserved Vulcan which I believe now lives at Brize Norton just did a low flypast straight over the middle of Charlbury. Quite a sight for those planespotters of a certain age indeed. Massive delta winged beast of an aircraft!
