I saw a vulcan complete with howl do an identical take off at Fairford one year. Two American servicemen standing in front of me were chatting until the engines started to howl. At the point of take off, one turned to the other and exclaimed "Gooooodddaaaaamn ----- will you look at that thing!

The B52 is a lumbering giant with 30 minutes take off alert. The Vulcan was a tactical ground hugger with only a 4 minute QRA. Both were lethal at their job. But for sheer display impact a Vulcan always steals the show.
@sandervanderkammen923024 күн бұрын
In hindsight we know the B-52 was the clear winner... it's expected to remain in service until at least 2045.

These were great times to visit London. It was still an English city then. British culture and history were everywhere. I loved the Tower of London and the museums. Just walking through the city and taking in the ambiance was fun. The architecture was also interesting It was fascinating to observe how they blended old London with the modern buildings. A friend explained to me that although many of the Victorian era brick buildings were completely destroyed by the German bombings during WW2, many that were only partially destroyed were preserved, reconstructed, and repurposed. You can clearly see the crude joinings on many of these buildings. If you love history it was just a cool place to visit. You could safely walk the streets, hop on the Underground, or take the buses from place to place in most areas. Knifings and acid throwing were not a thing. My favorite thing though was to rent a car and drive out into the country areas. Cold, but very beautiful. I used to buy all kinds of little souvenirs from old shops along the way. London doesn't look anything like this now, and it certainly isn't English anymore. My last visit there was a few years ago in 2019 just before the 'pandemic', and I was shocked at how much it had changed.The native culture is gone. And in many parts of the city you hardly even see any indigenous English people on the streets. It was as if they had just vanished and were replaced by a hodge-podge of foreigners. I'm not British, but I cried a little inside. It was a very sad thing to see.
