Have given this a great deal of thought and decided not to contribute to any further Threads for the time being.

When I was a nipper living in the Cerne Valley in Dorset
When I was a nipper living in the Cerne Valley in Dorset they used to regularly thunder down the valley. Awesome sight!!In fact, probably because of the Cerne Giant, we used to get all sorts of stuff flying over, even A10 Warthogs from Bentwaters in Suffolk.

You jest but it is suspected that originally the giant had a navel and a slightly smaller cock.

I showed the photos to a friend and a tear came to his eye. He said "I do like these magestic old timers. You can't beat an old bird, noisy, undercarriage deployed, flaps down, venting noxious trails of exhaust."Marvelous.
My school was next to Bitterswell Aerodrome where, in the 70's, lots of aircraft came to be fettled/rebuild/tested.You'd be in class enjoying Double Hard Sums when suddenly someone would take off in an early jet of a Spitfire or something. I'm now not very good at hard sums.They would also run the engines up to test them on jets like the Vulcan and it was v noisey. It's a wonder we're not all deaf.Pardon?
I completely agree with Reg.
Quote from: Regulator on 22 June, 2009, 12:05:26 pmI think Vulcans were some of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed. Much better looking than Concorde.As you probably know, a Vulcan was used for testing the Concorde engines. I Can't remember where it is, but I'm sure I've seen it.

There's a pretty good chance my dad knows at least half of the people in that picture. I shall have to ask him.
Was it Filton?
