    Hi Mike

    Thanks so much for this photo! I am an avid aviation enthusiast – and have been since I was about 4 years old, now I am 62!

    Aviation is one of my life bloods. I have always liked the Avro Vulcan – a truly awe inspiring and sensational aircraft. To me, it is akin to an aerial Giant Manta Ray fish which I adore.

    Your photo is of the last Vulcan (XH558) flying anywhere in the world. It is scheduled to fly to the end of this year but, regrettably not, thereafter due to metal fatigue problems and other matters, including the huge finance needed to keep and maintain the highly complex aircraft in airworthy condition, and, not forgetting, locating really highly specialised engineering talent to look after and maintain it.

    I like the cloud backdrop – most fitting to the Vulcan. A swan-song or epitaph perhaps…Up in her element where “she” belongs.

    Thanks again for this shot. Much appreciated. It appeals to me greatly.

    Laurence
