Following last weekend's nightmare weather at Cosford, there was a change of luck this weekend as the Vulcan completed two displays at both the Cotswold Airshow and also on the South coast at Margate, where XH558 put in a shift to wow the crowds again.
First off then, and the take off at Kemble which saw a great take off - see the video below, and thanks go to the youtuber for the excellent footage from outside the base, and there was a cracking display there before it was on to Margate to make the most of the dry conditions amongst a relatively up and down weekend as far as the weather was concerned in the UK - so great to see another successful weekend for the Vulcan crew to enjoy.
By the way, came across a fantastic video on youtube this evening too, with the famous howl...
Roll on Waddington...
The Vulcan Bomber is arguably the world's greatest aircraft, and a piece of British history. "Delta Lady" XH558 is a show stopper, and with the famous howl, no-one can mistake it. This blog is for all Vulcan fans to enjoy and interact with, and efforts are now underway to get the Vulcan ready for the 2012 Display season. Find out how you can help achieve that aim...

Vulcan crew get ready for Kemble
It's another anxious look to the skies this weekend for the Vulcan crew as they embark on their latest display destinations, hoping for better luck with the weather than what was experienced at Cosford last Sunday!
The Isle of Man weather would be fine mind!!
The crew have checked in early today to make an earlier flight from Doncaster down to Kemble, with a 10.30 flight time likely.
The funding appeal now stands at £225,000 - so just another £125k to go now to hit the target, which is of course needed by 31st July. To donate, please visit the Vulcan to the Sky homepage
