I saw it fly over Halton, or rather spent the time trying to photograph it with pants results. Blooming digital camera all I could in the view finder was my ugly mug. I'll have to get a Kodak Brownie again at least you could see what you wanted to be pointing it at. Wife got some pics on her Ipad I'll post them when I can work out how to.

Now you've 'seen the film' as it were, read the book; "Vulcan 607" by Rowland White. If you do and see mention of 42 feet, that is perfectly true - I was there and saw the aircraft - how the hell they managed to fly it back I'll never know. It wasn't a Vulcan aircraft though.

well we went shooting instead of seeing the bomber ,we had a slow start ,6 pigeons and 2 crows ,we then watched pigeons for a hour flying over a bean field and into a wood ,so we just grabbed some ammo and four deeks and left the rest of the kit set up ,after half a mile walk we stood in the hedge and put out four deeks ,well as some of you know we haven't had much luck since xmass ,well all i can say is from 2:30 till 5pm we had a ball ,and didn't have time to roll a fag ,they were coming from all angles ,it was like pearl harbor,my m8 had to go back to get more ammo and bought back the kit ,barrels were hot ,as it settled down a bit we had time for a bit of food and a cupper ,i then went onto pigeon watch on my phone to see if any of you had seen the bomber ,i seen that 39TDS had upload a few photos and showed my m8 ,he said well at least we have had a good day on the pigeons!!,a short while later as we were talking we both looked at each other as we could hear a heavy whistling coming from behind us ,!!!!!!!!!!! we both got up and ran about 30 yards out from the hedge and looked up at the tree line and there see was coming right at us VERY low ,we both cheered like kids as she flow passed us and we were waving then a tip of the wing from left and right she then straightened up and flew down the valley and then banked right and headed towards fairford way ,well what a finish to the day ,i tried to get my phone out as fast as i could ,this is the best i could do as she was flying fast ,time of photo was 5 10pm ,and i shot 76 cartage s ,only picked up 20 odd and we know we lost count after 50 ,lost a lot in the woods and brambles .a day to remember

It was 3:35pm, I was stood outside the museum buildings.

It flew pretty much along the runway.
