Absolute bucket list item knocked off the list on Sunday. A dream come true.

After a couple of decades of supporting getting her back into flight, following her around various air shows, and continuing to donate towards maintenance after she was grounded, I finally got to see Avro Vulcan XH558 up close and personal; even got to climb up into the cockpit for a tour and sit in the navigator's seat 😍

Photos taken 8 years ago in Warwickshire during the #Vulcan's last flying display. We saw it one final time in flight as it did a farewell flyby tour of the country and we got to see it fly over Bicester Heritage, but I didn't know we'd get to see that at the time I took these photos, so I was very emotional #Aviation #VulcanBomber

Oh WOW!

This turned out better than I expected.
