One of my favourites. Especially since I saw "Thunderbolt".

an amazing photo of the Vulcan!
I've never had the privilege of seeing one of these in flight, but I imagine it was quite a spectacle!

Surely it was. A friend from RAF sent me some audio recordings of it making a low-pass and yes, what a sound.

Always found this a fascinating wing design, to be honest.
