The last Vulcan airshow display. XH558 R.I.P. (with Tower/Vulcan communication)

This is the very last airshow display of the pride of Britain - AKA Avro Vulcan XH558. Includes ground/air communication announcing the final pass, and when exiting the airshow.

Now retired as aircraft knowledge and expertise is lost to time, insufficient to maintain flight worthiness any longer. The cash required certainly plays its part, but the saddest thing of all is that even today, on its very last airshow, the H&S police couldn't grant a special dispensation from the Shoreham knee-jerk reaction to permit an unbridled display, in the hands of responsible seasoned pilots who knew the craft so well.

Despite the politics however, the final display was fabulous and departure met with many a tearful eye at the Old Warden airfield.

On behalf of all, our sincerest thanks in appreciation to all who made it possible.
