I bet when Martin was flying Vulcan '607 down to the Falkland Islands that night in May 1982 to drop those 21 x 1000 pounders across the runway at Stanley he would have never imagined that 27 years later he'd be flying a Vulcan again at airshows :lol:

Love the Vulcan - VC10 combo 8)

What! No C-17 display? I'd love to see some of your fantastic photos featuring a C-17.

Apparently 99Sqn who fly the C-17 were asked but declined (as its a families day it was purely voluntary)

They're coming out of all 4 engines (not as visible on the starboard engines, but they're there) and if I remember correctly (from asking about a similar picture from last year), they're just condensation trails.
