I didn't realise there was a family day @ Broughton too - will there be the usual display?

A comparison from my back garden. Both taken at the same zoom (400mm), and not cropped.

A "little" fly-be (no idea of model, not up on my planes)

It's a Dash 8-400.

Probably winging it's way down to just around the corner from me!

Sorry guys taken from my BB not the best of pictures.

Shame I've got home from Birmingham so early else I would have kept an eye out, on the plus side though I saw a Vulcan while driving on the M42 earlier anyone got any idea what it was doing today? Something Cosford way maybe?

[CivicMan]

Vulcan Vulcan Vulcan...... I thought it was on it's last legs... it's bleeding EVERYWHERE these days!

[acquiescence]

The Vulcan was at Broughton (Chester)minutes before the A380 today. The Vulcan's a noisy bleeder.

[mrdelmonti]

Ah right, that would make sense then, and yes it has been everywhere lately but it's the first time I've seen it so I'm quite chuffed.

[Cheeky Jim]

Yep, it is mahoosive.... was on the M25 when one took off right over the top of us... it makes the 747 look pitifully small!

Looks even more impressive on the inside - there's a bar upstairs that you can spend time at rather than sit in your seat for the whole journey.:



Taken on my trip to Dubai earlier this year.

[Mr Trophy]

Is that First or Business? Looks like Virgin's Upper class.

Some of the days sights at Broughton - all manner of flying machines, some without wings!!
