Another great video lined up here for the Vulcan Display at Southport Airshow on Sunday, which was the final airshow of the year that the Delta Lady would be appearing at.
It was another great viewing of the Vulcan, and one complete with the Vulcan howl at the end of the display, plus it was a much longer display that the 2008 show, which was always going to be a good thing for the fans!
Thanks to 06Paull on Youtube who shot a great video from the front at Southport, and for mobile phone footage, this is extremely good, and gets a good sound from the Vulcan, music, and commentator too.
Enjoy the video!

The Vulcan Effect
Well I think it's clear to see that The Vulcan Effect has been well and truly in full steam this summer, with the exception of Waddington where we had the controversy over the Permit To Fly, and the cancellations at Biggin Hill & Yeovilton, this season has been a great one for Vulcan fans.
Following last year's technical and weather difficulties, 2009 has been a pleasure to see the Delta Lady in the air as much as possible, with cracking displays at RAF Cosford, the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford, Lake Windermere, which resulted in some oh so special Vulcan photos, at the Blackpool Airshow, where we had a brilliant howl.
The display at Dawlish where the Red Arrows teamed up with the Vulcan was also one to savour, as was the 3 day event on the Bournemouth Seafront, where the Vulcan displayed each day for the hundreds of thousands of fans watching.
Plus most recently the Vulcan at Broughton, for the Airbus 40th birthday celebrations, where we were treated to a simulated take off producing a massive howl, which was captured on YouTube by many!
In fact the Vulcan on YouTube is probably one of the most popular searches, with many great displays this Summer, and it's not over yet, as RAF Leuchars in Scotland will be hoping for better weather than last year, so everyone can see a full Vulcan display, which will include take off and landing - how lucky are they!
Finally, the Vulcan crew potentially round off a great season, with three events on the same day, travelling abroad for the second time this season, as they head to Sanicole, Belgium, before returning to the UK to display at both the Goodwood Revival and also a private event in Cambridge.
Still there is hope that we'll see the Vulcan at Southport, as the Southport Airshow takes place on the final weekend of September, it's pencilled in right now, but as yet unconfirmed, hopefully that status will change over the next couple of weeks, to confirmed, and the people of Southport, and the surrounding areas, will again see the arrival of the Vulcan!

The Vulcan Display at RIAT 2009
One of the highlights of the airshow season is the Royal international Air Tattoo, and this year's was keenly awaited thanks to two things, the cancellation of 2008's show thanks to the weather, and the fact that the Vulcan was making it's return to RIAT at Fairford.
XH558 didn't disappoint either, with a fantastic display on both days of the show, with the clouds staying in the distance on Day 1, and on Day 2 the rain just held off in time for it's Display.
It was certainly a mammoth take off for the Vulcan, which looked almost like it was flying upside down at one stage, obviously it wasn't, but it was pretty close!
The modern day display may not come close to the displays of the past, but that is fair enough, due to the limited time on the airframe, but it still does quite enough to stop everyone in their tracks, the sheer sight of the Vulcan bomber is enough to make everyone stop what they are doing.
On a personal note, I am counting down the days until XH558 makes its appearance at Hawarden next Saturday (5th September) as long as the weather holds and is serviceable of course.
It's been a good couple of decades since the area was treated to a Vulcan display, but those memories will all come flooding back if the Delta Lady turns up to delight all once again!
Next up is a weekend full of displays, as it heads to Silverstone on Saturday, then off to Dunsfold, Uffington, and Romsey on Sunday. Fingers crossed it manages each display.
