@onewing Thanks Babs for you comments, I also love the Lancaster and Vulcan, when I lived in Waddington Village they were still based there, there is only one airworthy Vulcan its privately owned and is currently doing the airshows in the UK;)
@terryliv Thank you for both comments Terry, I had 2 days there, only problem was in the hangar could not use flash because the engineers were working on the aircraft, I will visit the station again sometime it all has to be prebooked;)

My two favourite aircraft of all time are the Lancaster and Vulcan bombers.
