Childhood Memories
Battle of Britain Days in the 60's at RAF Finningley Doncaster now Robin Hood airport.
One of the set piece displays was a four ship Vulcan scramble.
A very pistol flare as the starting gun and the crews jumped in their aircraft. 16 Engines starting simultaneously. As they chased each other down the runway you had the magnificent sight, sound, smell and gut bouncing feel of
One aircraft airborne and peeling off
One aircraft about to rotate
One aircraft accelerating hard down the runway
One aircraft just starting it's run.
Flare to all four gone about two\three minutes
Once seen never forgotten..
