Today was the airshow in Ayr, marking the last Scottish flight of the Avro Vulcan XH558.
Last weekend I saw inside its sister plane, down in Carlisle. This week, I enjoyed watching it fly – and what a beautiful bird it was. So elegant – when cruising around slowly it was as though she was toying with the audience. And when they opened the throttle to accelerate or head upwards…. wow. What an engine roar.
The Red Arrows were also there – an impressive display of several fly-pasts ludicrously close and at high speed.
I’ve also made a little video of the Vulcan:
