It was a welcome sight to see her back in the air again, and after waddo visitors missed out last year, there was no way a repeat was going to happen, although having said that the weather almost put pay to the plan on Sunday with high winds blowing across Lincolnshire.
Those who went to the airshow went home happy that the Vulcan was well and truly back, and those at the Goodwood Festival got a great display too, and can be viewed via the following links:

Attentions now turn to RNAS Yeovilton, and those going on Saturday will be hoping that the weather doesn't dent the plans again following the miserable climate that put pay to a flying Vulcan appearance on the same Saturday one year ago.
The Delta Lady is already in the area though having landed there today, so the engineers and crew will now be based there for the next few days at least to see her through safely to the end of the display.
The fact that she's now at Yeovilton gives us another excuse to wheel this one out again...
The great news for Air Tattoo fans is that the Vulcan has today been added to the flying display at Fairford in just under a fortnight's time.
The Cotswolds are set to rumble once again, as the world's largest military airshow kicks off once again, with hundreds of thousands of visitors expected at the airshow, which attracts some of the best aircraft in the world with this year a highlight being the appearance of the F22 Raptor, which attended the only ever cancellation of the airshow in 2008, and denying many the chance to witness a star display.
So, then, eyes look forward to Saturday, but also keeping check on the Vulcan website to see if any extra dates will be added across the country in the next few months.
