After years of restoration and millions of pounds raised, the last airworthy Vulcan bomber takes to the skies.
See website here.

This aircraft is the size of a medium airliner but almost as agile as a fighter. When it takes off the animal howl from it's intakes is incredible as it gulps in TWO TONS of air a second.
Gushing here, sorry, enjoy the photos...
