Three but one is somewhat smaller!

Hi Every one i think the photo was around 1993/4 i am on that photo some where in the crowed . If my memory is correct it teemed it down with rain & we had to be towed off the airfield & I do remember sheltering under Woodfords Vulcan .

It was at the 1990 airshow. From what i remember they parked them both nose to nose to celebrate '558's 30th birthday. '558 wasn't display flying in 93 or 94.

You are correct Steve my memory must be going . I should have known it was not 1993 as I was at Waddington when the Vulcan flew for the last time under RAF control in March 25th 1993.

Al, it was March 23rd 1993

Never has an aircraft looked so good in anti-flash white.

And, what I don't understand is how a civil aircraft can fly so close to service aircraft...just askin'. (I'm glad it does...)

It wasn't a civil aircraft when that photo was taken.
