Aug 20, 2008 - Thanks very much for an excellent video.I was not at the event but would have so loved to have been there. I am so thankful for people like yourself who are prepared to spend your time and skills in sharing things like this with the rest of us. It allows us to "pretend" that we were there and see what it was like.Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Aug 20, 2008 - i saw this display and it is fantastic to see vulcan again i hope the displays are more like the r.a.f. display they seemed to be holding back. i saw 558 in the 90's and it can display better maybe it's airframe or engines are being protected for future flights. but to see it again was great and now riat

Aug 20, 2008 - I went to Waddington on Sunday just to see her fly again and she went unservicable. Not sure if I've felt been more dissapointed. Now I'm faced with a 600 mile round trip to Fairford. More importantly, well done to the men and women who's determination made the old girl fly again, you've made us all rpoud.

Aug 20, 2008 - I just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time to do this video, i have been going to airshows all my life and went to Waddington on the sunday with massive excitement and expectation, i was absolutely gutted when it was announced that the Vulcan would not be flying due to electrical difficulties!! Seeing your video so wonderfully done and thinking what an amazing job has been done but that i didnt get to see it made me cry,but thankyou for letting me see how fantastic it looked!!

Aug 20, 2008 - I watched it fly on Saturday, it was worth getting soaked to the skin and then sunburnt to watch and listen to this beautiful plane fly again, I had shivers up and down my spine as she taxied out and when those engines rumbled into life I grinned so much I thought my face would split....fantastic plane, fantastic restoration job, lets hope she flies and is supported for as long as possible

GailPacker Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Thankyou so much for this video. My Dad worked on the Vulcans from 1958 til they went out of service. I cried watching this as it bought back so many memories of my childhood in Waddington watching those wonderful aeroplanes flying around. Thanks again.

Aug 20, 2008 - Don't suppose anyone knows the name of the music that was playing at the display itself, rather than the one on this video? Not that there's anything wrong with this one, I like em both :-)

Tolly9184 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I was also their saturday, and i agree it was really gr8 2 c her back in the air, and her flypast with the lancaster, was actually really emotional.

Aug 20, 2008 - Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game. It's the same music that the VDF used in the 90's.

Aug 20, 2008 - What a fantastic video with emotive music. I am a member of the "Vulcan to the Sky" Club and went to Waddington on 6th July and also had tickets to RIAT. You can imagine my real disappointment at not seeing XH558 back in the air but this really made up for it. Thank you!
