Aviation After the rain

One from a photoshoot yesterday at Wellesbourne Mountford airfield, UK. This is Avro Vulcan XM655 which has been preserved there for the last 40 years. Although it is capable of running under its own power, it's currently unable to use the runway due to subsidence. 60+ tonnes of Vulcan is only going to make things worse for the mainly GA traffic based there. After 4 hours of rain yesterday afternoon, it stopped and the air cleared, leaving lots of puddles for shots like these.

Great reflection - you could almost flip the image! perfect shot, caught the last vulcan flight over Silverstone - certainly a beast.

I remember Vulcans flying over my house in Nottingham UK in the early 60's. To me as a 10 year old they were very big.
