Was walking my dog in bramley, I heard it first then it appeared above what looked no more than a little higher than the houses. It flew straight over my head before banking to the left and preforming a 180 degree turn and heading off back towards the airport. Amazing and wonderful sight. :whiteflag:

[offtopic]Whenever I think of the Vulcan I remember the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and several Vulcan bombers kept in a state of immediate readiness and reputedly armed with nuclear weapons (so we later learned) at Filton Airfield, Bristol. It seems this was the nearest we came to World War 3.[/offtopic]

I saw it from my back garden in Cookridge, it seemed strangely quiet. At first I thought it was an American Rockwell B1 (due to the lack of noise and the angle at which i saw it).

Does anyone know the registration of the German Learjet that was sat on Multiflight all day yesterday. The first part was D-CGF* but the engine covers covered the last letter. Also, we had another Serbian biz jet yesterday afternoon YU-SPB which was apparently bringing in the prospective new LUFC head coach.

 

[twevsmiff]

The Lear Jet 60 is D-CGEO and is due out this morning.

Wrong on the Citation YU-SPB, which came from Malta bringing home the 4 people who flew to Malta in YU-SPC last week.

And for the record we also had a Czech Citation Sovereign OK-UMI yesterday evening.

Getting the Vulcan to do that fly past was one of the highlights of my career. The BA Shuttle asked what the Vulcan was doing. When told a low approach and asked if he wanted to wait the response was "Hell Yeah!"

Considering it was on its way back from its last display of 2014 made it even more special.

I hope you all enjoyed it

 

[Aviador]

Good work Lamix1W :hatsoff: Might have known you'd have something to do with it!

 

[Bigman]

Thanks for clearing that up twev.

I managed to get a couple of not so good pictures (Using me Mobile Phone) of the Corendon Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800WL, PH-CDE at LBA in poor conditions on Saturday which was on lease to Jet2.

Even though I haven't seen the Vulcan at Leeds/Bradford before I was at the Southport Airshow yesterday (In glorious sunshine) where she displayed before returning back home to Donny via both Leeds and Blackpool airports.

Saying that It was a privilege to witness the 2x Lancaster Bombers in what was there last UK display together before the Canadian Lancaster makes her returns trip home over the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow.

Twice the Vulcan has been to LBA this year and twice I have not seen or heard it, despite being in the house and having a clear view of the flightpath. To say I am gutted would be an understatement, particularly considering it didn't take part in the Duxford Airshow on the 14th September either (it only took part on the 13th). I still haven't seen it fly and the last one I saw in the air was at Church Fenton, many many moons ago.

Looks like Jet2 are leasing in Titan Airways Boeing 757-200, G-ZAPX. As she positioned into Leeds earlier this evennig from London Stansted as EXS45A

It's scheduled to operate the LS251/2 LBA-FAO-LBA then position back to STN.

White heather you must see it! I have been on the hangar tour at DSA when XH558 was under mx and also seen her fly at Waddington in 2013. Theres now only one more flying season left so the clock is well and truly ticking! Wonderful aircraft and such great people who look after it!

:crazy:
