RAF Lakenheath : 27th August 2015

The 48th Fighter Wing Commander had arranged for the Vulcan XH558 to do a few flypasts at RAF Lakenheath, escorted by two F-15C Eagles. A unique formation and possibly my last chance to see the Vulcan, so with hundreds of others, I became one of a large crowd around the perimeter fence of the base.
