Not something you see every day in your rear view mirror!

That's a great shot! Where was it taken!?

This evening, right at the end of the old RAF Finningley runway (Now Robin Hood Airport).

Training flight, getting ready for the new display season I think, we got there too late for the take off, this is the landing, it got even lower than that a second later!

My new desktop background.

Awesome!

Hi mate.
Thats pure class. Not a bad looking motor either
Cheers Mark.

That is a very cool snap.

never seen a 300 and a Vulcan in the same pic before.

Got to be a world first.

Backgrounded as well....

So much love in one picture.

That is great photo, anyone going to send it to Chris as an idea for the VOC Driver?

Great idea

Wow Can't be easy to get a shot like that ...

Is that the Vulcan of Falklands war fame?

Cheers

Thanks for the comments!

No it's not the Falklands Vulcan, that was XM607

XH558 (the one in the photo) was the last in service and now the only flying example.

The photo was a spur of the moment thing, I'd already filmed it doing a pass (almost touched down and then took off for another circuit). When it can back round to land I just crouched down amd waited for the right moment! I just thought it would be nice to get the car in the shot too!

It would be quite easy to get again, they put the Vulcan take off times on twitter and loads of people turn up to watch.

I'd like to get the GLS there for a similar shot.

Happy to use the photo in the magazine, I should be able to provide it in RAW format.

Hi all.
I once sent a few photos of the banana to Chris and they ended up
at the back of the driver mag. A 15 minutes of fame moment
Cheers Mark.
