Fantastic shots Keith! They're not breaking the speed of sound with those vapour trails are they?! Or just nudging it?

Just nudging it. This shot shows the shockwaves and the bending of light around them- the Schlieren effect.

Hi Folks.
I hope the non UK citizens will forgive my posting this.
There is a petition to enable the Vulcan to continue to fly after the end of the year, apparently it has something to do with legislation. Unfortunately this is only open to UK residents.

If you are interested in keeping her in the air please sign the petition.

Cheers, Graham.

Wow! Great capture. I don't think they're even allowed near that speed in a show here in the UK.
