It was! - you could have thrown a stone off the roof at asda and hit it - I wasn't kidding when i said it was low
Cheers

Have to agree, awesome sound, even with only one of them. Just imagine what it must have been like during one of the 1000 bomber raids.

I work in the centre of Manchester on the 17th floor and saw/heard the bomber.
It flew bloody close to the building but looked cool

An advert I saw said that the Vulcan might be there as well, "subject to servicability"
Now that would be AWESOME to see!

Aye I heard it in Manchester too. Couldn't see out of a window though. Bugger, wished I'd have caught it.

I yelled at everybody nearby at work to get outside this afternoon, it came over Coalville too, around 1:45 this afternoon I think it was,
couldn't mistake the Rolls Royce soundtrack!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

I saw the Lancaster catch some greenery when flying over some trees at Audley End House Wings and Wheels day a few years ago
We also had a customer in this morning with a Merlin engine on a trailer complete with prop . Ho would have started it in the car park but all the
cars would have been "pebble dashed"
