Saw the Vulcan at Southport last year, it is impressive and amazing
It was doing a display with a couple of Eurofighters, the thing is MASSIVE compared to them
Just hope they can get the funding to keep it in the air.
In sumer if you go up the M6 between J37 and 38 you will get Eurofighters at the same height as you going through the valley, proper shits you up
