Heard the Vulcan on the radio but couldn't get to the airport in time.  He was at 2000 ft when he requested a fly-through. When the controller asked if he would maintain that height for the fly-through the pilot replied: "No, low-level 2 to 300 ft." So I was a bit disappointed when he didn't maintain 200ft when he had gone through the airport overhead (he would have come right over my house). Instead he banked left and went back to 2000ft to the NW. I guess he was going to East Kirkby too? later heard and saw '109 formation' go to EK and return. |

Affraid I wasn't at HUY to get photos of them, would have been nice to watch them though, saw the Buchon and Spitfire in the distance returning from East Kirkby.
