Nice one Dave, thanks...
I lived near Kineton until I was 10 and we used to regularly see
them at very close quarters. It flew over here a couple of
years ago at a very low level, banked around and they opened the
throttle and off it went - stunning. One of these taking off is
something to behold.

It arrived at 3:15pm. I was at the end of the old runway, on a
country lane ;D

The road near to the bunkers, that may - or may not - have
stored the 'nuclear deterrent' at the time the Vulcan was
stationed at Gaydon.
Good choice. Ten minutes and 4 fly pasts over the Heritage Motor
Centre.

A local talked about the bunkers, explaining where they were :)
I decided that the HCM would be rather busy and the end of the
runway a better choice (and cheaper).
Thanks for the link to the news report 8)
