I stand corrected. The Vulcan in the picture is NOT XH558 at Doncaster, it is XL 319 on show at Sunderland NELSAM.
The (kawasaki) Vulcan Riders Association (VRA-UK) had a weekend rally at the site.
The smoke at the rear of the group is result of a burnout by Panther.

I'm afraid I'm not in that picture. Although I knew everybody there I didnt make it that day.
I have asked a friend who was there to let us know the exact reason, but I believe it was a charity event to raise money for the Vulcan bomber XH558 trust fund. I did get to see the plane after it stopped flying, its in Robin Hood airport in Doncaster

Reminds me of the Thunderbirds episode involving the Fireflash for some reason!

Not sure why Larry, my brother Bob is on one of the bikes.

Cool shot. Was there an occasion for celebration or they were there for the photo op?
