Vulcan Upside down!!
Vulcan Upside down!!
Remember seeing a Vulcan climbing up from Scampton in the 70's over Lincoln, and seeing the camouflage underneath and thinking for one moment it was flying upside down!!
Re: Vulcan Upside down!!
That's amazing, was it XH558?
Re: Vulcan Upside down!!
I don't know, but learned later that they used it for the Giant Voice/ Red Flag 77-79.

Re: Vulcan Upside down!!
Back in 1977 I was on a museum visit to RAF Waddington and managed to photograph XM607 in the wrap around 'desert' scheme that was specially applied for that year's Red Flag Exercise - as I recall at that time it was unique to the Vulcans in the Waddington fleet and we were not meant to photograph it!
I had an interesting chat about those markings with Vulcan author Craig Bulman at one of Newark's V-Force reunion events.

I have seen a video when the Vulcans participated in Red Flag 77, flying low level through the mountains.
