Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I was lucky so see the Vulcan do some practise rounds at Waddo ( 10-7-08 ) making some real low passes !!
What a mighty beast....

Nice pics, great opportunity, but personally I'm horrified by the look at al the clipped wings.
I see that a lot. But like I said that is PERSONAL!

Some nice shots of a great aircraft. Hope to see it myself one day.

By the way, the book "Vulcan 607" Firecat talks about is indeed great. Worth reading.

Very nice pictures. Glad to see the grand old lady returning to its homeplate. Brings back memories from 1977, when we had
a Station visit at Waddington, and those beatifull ladies were a common sight. Unforgettable event.
