Interesting clip on Youtube of the Vulcan flying over the Lake District.

How many can you recognise?

In reply to FesteringSore:

Cheers - thanks for posting. I don't think I've ever gone over Dunmail Raise quite that quickly.

In reply to Greenbanks:

Nor me!

In reply to FesteringSore:

Good show, great to see it from the old birds perspective.

In reply to FesteringSore:

If you look very closely you can't quite see me on Castle Rock.

(For those that don't know pause the film at 2:32 and Castle Rock is down in the left hand corner.)

I was belaying on the halfway ledge of Via Media. My partner was just working through the crux a few metres higher when I heard a loud noise coming up St. Johns in the Vale. My friend gets annoyed when I try to give him advice when he's doing the crux, so when I said "There's a Vulcan bomber behind your head!" he started to protest before his brain actually registered what I'd said. He quickly reversed the moves back to a point where he could watch safely.

It was great to see and a shame we'll never get the chance again.

In reply to FesteringSore:

Thanks for that - nice piece of footage. Saw it at RIAT this year with Red Arrows, such an impressive plane.

Forgive my ignorance but which lake or mere do they fly over around 2:40 in? Is it Thirlmere? Somebody mentioned Dunmail Raise - is that what they are flying towards at that point?

In reply to mountainbagger:


Yes, flying North to South along Thirlmere.

Thanks

Yes, I checked its outline on the OS Map
