Just got back from seeing 2 Vulcans in one day!
Wellesbourne was amazing we had a fantastic time, everyone made us very welcome.
We then shot back up to Fininngley in time to see 558 come into land. Then she did the most awesome howl and a power climb, plus a wing wave when she landed back down safely. :D :D

I've now uploaded photos of the routine maintenance on XM655 undertaken last Saturday to my website.
http://evergreen.zenfolio.com/p586219026#h24bec5f1

and also a small collection of photos of the Wellesbourne flypast with XH558. Thankyou to the XH558 team who provided a wonderful finale to the VTTS club visit to see XM655.

Come back in a day or so for more shots from the VTTS club visit.

I think whatever w/e they choose next year it will clash as all the airshows have moved dates.
