Civilian Aviation

I spent last Sunday at Southend where the Vulcan Restoration Trust had an open day coupled with The Red Arrows, BBMF and RAF Typhoon all staying there over the weekend and from where they flew displays at Eastbourne and Folkestone so a bit more variation than usual, here's a selection from my day at the seaside...

firstly the Vulcan, XL426 / G-VJET
