Well it's Saturday, and a break in the action for XH558 on the airshow circuit this weekend, but some excellent news that two more appearances have been booked in, with confirmation that she'll be appearing at Southport on Saturday 23rd July, and also at Goodwood next Sunday, which means the Vulcan will take off from Waddington, then to display at Goodwood before returning straight into the display at Waddo.
There were some rumours about the Vulcan not having a Permit to Fly over the Waddington weekend, well sources have confirmed that the new PTF is scheduled to be confirmed in midweek prior to the departure to waddington, which takes place on Thursday 30th June, with the Vulcan crew arriving and displaying at the Waddington Airshow Press Day, so an extra treat for those in the Lincoln area that day!
Now, back to the top 10 Vulcan videos that I'm showcasing during the build up to the Waddington Airshow, and here is today's effort, which is a throwback to the good old displays of 1992, and this one was filmed at Church Fenton, I'm loving this video, not many howls it has to be said, but it's worth the watch just to sit back and enjoy the many aspects of the old display - many would of course love to see today's display as dynamic - but I think we can all appreciate why that's not possible!
One extra point to note on the video, is when the Delta Lady taxis back down the runway, there is almost a wink from the Vulcan, of course it's a glint of sunshine but it just seems to be the aircraft winking to the crowd (around the 8:40 mark).
Thanks to the youtuber for the filming of this clip, the original link to it is:

Top 10 Vulcan Videos - Day 3
So, to the third day of the top ten Vulcan videos, and another corker for today, hope you like the choice!
Cast your minds back to RIAT 2009, and after the relief of the airshow going ahead after the previous year's washout, XH558 made her return to the skies over Fairford, and in front of nearly 100,000 signalled perhaps a collective rubbing of hips - after all everyone seemed to get out of their seats when they saw the Vulcan preparing for take off, and commanding everyone's attention for the display.
Saturday was the dry but windy day, and that's the day that I saw the display, but on the Sunday the weather changed for the worse, and it was looking doubtful that there would be a Vulcan display with the weather closing in, but just like that the rain held off just when the Delta Lady was due to fill the skies, and cue the take off...
That is what the day 3 video is all about, the dampened crowd were to be served up a treat with a stunning take off that saw a wing over that simply looked like the Vulcan had turned upside down - it must have had everyone talking on the day, now obviously it didn't go upside down, but how looks can be deceiving hey?
So, to the video...

Top 10 Vulcan Videos - Day 1
Well, we're not that far away from the Vulcan's appearance at the Waddington Airshow now, and as the battle to reach the £350,000 donations target continues, I thought it time to have a look at my favourite Vulcan videos posted on You Tube.
I'm sure everyone has their favourites, all for differing reasons, whether its for the power, the majestic sight of XH558 owning the skies, the howl, or indeed the old barrel rolls - whatever the reason I hope you like the 10 that I've selected, so here we go (and in true reality show style) in no particular order here is the first pick:
Yeovilton
What a way to start, with this monster of a video, with over 50,000 hits. It can be a little shaky at times, now whether that's the nerves of the person holding the camera I'm not sure, but considering what happens once the fence has been cleared, I'd be shaking too - the sight of the sheep darting off in all directions is quality too!
Anyway, enough jibber jabber, time to enjoy the video....
That video is legendary!
Tune in tomorrow for another one!!!
