    Was there a big airshow today?

    Saw the Vulcan fly past our airfield (from the air ) - bloody huge, but a beautiful aircraft. Pretty sure it gave the guy turning finals a bit of a shock.

    Just wondering if there was something on (we saw it again when it came back)?

    Yes, I saw it at last year's Goodwood FoS, definitely worth seeing (the Vulcan and FoS)
