The only thing that would be better, would be to see that bad boy in the air! I love the processing!

I have shots of it in the air. I just have to find them. LOL I live close enough to the museum that we usually see it in the air 4-5 times a year. Thanks Justin.

Hmmm, we haven't had one of those locally yet. Maybe this one will come and visit one of these days.

It is one of only 2 left in the world that are flight worthy. I think there is one being restored or maybe completed now in Australia.

Asked my husband. Yes, Canada and England for the flyers. The Canadian one is Vera. The English one is renamed every time it's overhauled, to honor someone different. 2 more potential flyers if sufficient money is applied. Vera went to England and flew with the English one (owned by Battle of Britain Memorial Organization). Just Jane is one of the potential flyers (England). She's taxiing at the moment, but still needs work. The 2 flyers also flew with a privately owned Avro Vulcan jet bomber (nuclear bomber).

The lesson here is need airplane info? Ask Mike and get ready for an info dump!

Yes Vera was in the UK for most of last summer. Here is a couple more shots from years past.
