The Vulcan, some alternative views.

VVC-Geeza · 11th October 2015, 17:23

I found myself at the East midlands Airport aeropark this afternoon to see Vulcan XH558 make a surprise return visit following yesterdays disappointment when it was not allowed to overfly the runway.Whilst there I took some pic's of the aeroparks own Static diplay Vulcan including the cockpit and it's enourmous bomb bay.

This way please

Nice pics though, and thanks for sharing. I hope you were able to see XH558 today.

XM597 isn't that far away from me at the Museum Of Flight at East Fortune but its a static display with no access to it.

That cockpit looks complex beyond belief

Fantastic pics though, thanks for sharing them with us

The bomb bay was large enough to take a Blue Steel Missille!

Super program. The aviation museum next to Coventry. Airport has a Vulcan and you can enter the cockpit for a gander .Lots of other great aircraft also on display.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area
