You're Top Poster: #3  | She was apparently moving under her own power very recently so the first flight can't be far away. Would be truly magnificent to see.

You're Top Poster: #5  | I hope they televise it and broadcast it on national TV, it would be a very good thing to see! Imagine for a minute, the four lightnings from South Africa and the Vulcan flying in a formation!

You're Top Poster: #1 | Morse, presumably you've seen them fly in the past. Don't they just make concorde sound like a purring pussy cat in comparison? I remember the post-Falklands flypast. I think I was deaf for a week.
