Did it have the shock and awe factor of the vulcan tvoc??

Unfortunately even the mighty Vulcan is somewhat subdued in flight (when it gets the chance) these days and it will in all probability never be displayed at anything close to pre '92 levels again. It requires a mod to the wing leading edge to go much beyond it's present tame routine and that's not envisaged as being in the budget at the present difficult times.

Still mightily impressive on take off though.

The summer of 67 for some reason stands out in my mind, I hear that song and I'm 10 years old sitting in the back of my dads car queueing to get into Chruch Fenton for the August bank holiday air show and another chance to see the Lightning jet fighter. Unloading missiles with leather belts, maintenance men in brown coats, a cheesy sound track that screams "the 1960's" this Air Ministry film has them all

The commentary near the end is very funny.

"Jeez im running outta film... I hope iv enough to film the crash"

Anyone notice that black car on the road at the end of the runway seemed to speed up a bit when it saw the plane coming?

He could have parked up for 20 minutes and still got away in time.
