Thanks Guys!
Vulcan cockpit is real small and you feel like you are in a two-seat fighter trainer! Only up much higher off the ground! When you manoeuvre or taxi on the ground, you have to remember (apparently) that the front wheel is quite a way aft of the cabin when you swing round.
While I was sat in the pilot's seat, XH558 was on route to Southend, so I was sat there at the controls while the flying one was in the air! Awesome feeling!
You would have messed yourself Steve with all the Lightning stuff that was there. Two of them in their genuine QRA hanger and all the stuff they were selling - unbelievable! The Lightning fast taxi was "loud", but not as loud as the Nimrod funnily enough.
The Sea Vixen is a beautiful plane when unfolded. I can't get on with the "off-centre" cockpit though!
