Avro Vulcan XH-558 – Revival More pictures and video

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Monday, 21st, Sep, 2009

I have decided to post some more pictures today of the Avro Vulcan from yesterday as 1 just doesn’t do it justice or bring in the actual scale and how close and low it was. From left to right picture 1 is “as shot” reduced in size to fit on your screen, when i reduce the images to fit screen size it loses definition if you try to magnify it, picture 2 is the same image but cropped to give a closer look with more detail yet still resized to fit, picture 3 is the unedited natural size of the original photo but cropped to only show the aircraft, yes it really was that close! and lastly picture 4 is another angle looking north.

Be sure to check back this week as there are more images from the revival to come spitfires, mustangs and some classic cars too……who would have thought?

Lastly i have come across a video (thanks bro) on you tube filmed well with excellent sound capture something i didn’t achieve, probably one of the best videos ive seen.

Enjoy
