Found this article on Flight global today. Wish I could see the Vulcan fly again. I saw it at the Azaela Air Show at NAS Norfolk in Apr of 1988 and before that at an air show at Offutt AFB back when the T-birds were flying the T-38.

Truely an amazing aircraft to see take off, the four ship scramble at Finningley Airshow was spectacular and in later years it was often heard to set of nearly every car alarm on the airfield.
As young lad i remember walking on the shoreline of the River Humber [Lincolnshire] and heard jet noise above, looking up i saw a large gap in the clouds with about 10 Vulcans in loose formation cruising North. A sight that has always stuck in my head and maybe one of the reasons i took up aviology. Well that and an elder brother who was always making paper aeroplanes. One day at school he launched one out of an upstairs classroom window where it circled on the updraft of an Easterly breeze, just then the teacher entered the room and sat at his desk, without looking up he said "Dalton, if that aeroplane has not gone in five minutes, your on detention"

Detention! He should have been given an honours degree in aeronautics.
