The three-hour flight will start at Doncaster at 1pm and loop north over Scarborough and Carlisle before heading back over Barton Aerodrome and Woodford, and back to Doncaster.
Vulcan XH558 was built at Avro’s Woodford site, where my Dad used to work.
I have been privileged to see it fly many times over the years, many at Woodford.
Quote from: PlusComUK When I was a young lad, my Dad, who worked at Woodford Aerodrome in Cheshire, used to take me in sometimes at Weekends.....
Used to be AVRO's, they refurbished Vulcans, Victors, Valiants and Shackletons....
There was an old Vulcan there, and I used to play in the Cockpit !!
It was very cramped, and smelly....
Memories.

I used to work at Woodford too, but the Vulcan was before my time. We did some work on the tanker variant of the Victor but my main work was on the Nimrod.

Quote from: Kremmen ........ and got to stand under the Vulcan they have on display. Compared to the other exhibits it's massive and even put the flying fortress to shame.
If you think the Vulcan is big, try standing next to the Short Sunderland at Duxford

I still have memory of seeing the Vulcan at a flying display at RAF St. Athan back in the early 60's. Take off with full power applied at V2 followed by a couple of circuits. Awesome - but just a little bit on the noisy side.
