great pics Joe. Spider has a pic somewhere of a Vulcan doing a fly over on a parade. The pilot got a rollicking because he had a bit of a joke, he was low. The best live ones I ever saw were the Navy Buccaneer pilots, they were mad.

I would of liked to have seen a bit more of them but how many people have seen the red arrows in a stack of ten, as there is usualy only nine


Red 10 is the director or something like that, the boss. If Red 10 was with them they were probably enroute as you say and he was with them in his own kite.

The twin boom job is a De Havilland Vampire (or could be a later development, the Venom.)

Good Morning, first post here, so please be kind!

Just to let you know that the aircraft featured above are the Team Viper (made up of 3 Strikemasters - a modicfication of Jet Provosts), and it was indeed the De Havilland Venom, this was flying in place of the Gloster Meteor which was due to take to the skies but was a little unwell!

The Vulcan was absolutely fantastic, and was delighted to see her fly over Chester again, just to give a heads up, it is pencilled in, but still not confirmed, that it will attend the Southport Airshow on 26/27th September.

I have a blog relating to the Vulcan, which I started last week, feel free to visit:

I can confirm that the Vulcan bomber will be flying at Southport, on Sunday 27th only, so fingers crossed the weather holds for it!

Check out the blog in my signature to keep updated this week for timings etc.

Cheers, Banksy
