Must have been in 1966 .... we were at scout camp in Morar in the north of Scotland and a Vulcan came across our camp at low level. It was very impressive and very noisy
Years ago when i was still living in England the USAF from RAF Alconbury would swoop over the town most days,it was always exciting... i thought so anyway, it was "cold war period" so also a bit scary too.
I'm pretty sure that I still see a VC10 flying round here. It might be at Boscombe Down- I seem to recall there's some ancient test aircraft crammed with data logging gear.
Living at Fairford was great as the Concorde was being tested when I was there.
There don't seem to be as many air-shows, car-shows or even steam fairs as there used to be. Down here in Devon you could find a version of the last two almost every weekend somewhere in the county.
Something else that seems to be on the wane. Perhaps it's harder to drag your kids around them now or fewer old men to drag them maybe.
