Avro Vulcan on Flickr

I found this photo awesome! OK, I have been reading too many aeroplane magazines from the UK lately - particularly Fly Past - following the Vulcan to its first flight, for many years, late last year.

My first professional job in a library was at Lincoln city Library in the UK and I remember the place very fondly. It was also the place I started learning to skydive and was excellent for plane spotting, as it has so many air bases. On one occasion, the Vulcan flew very low up Lincoln High Street, setting off alarms all the way up as it went! I remember being awestruck by the size of it - and I still am. I am hoping to get a look at it later this year when I re visit Lincolnshire.
