In case you don't know, for the last few years a group of blokes have been rebuilding a Vulcan bomber. Reason? Why not - there are none that can fly, its big, fast, noisy, and its a blokey thing to do.

Its ready to fly, and on the runway right now:

If it takes off today then no doubt it will also be on the local news.

Here it was a few weeks ago testing the engines:

If you've ever seen one of these things go over your head (I did when I was little) you'll know what an amazing sight and sound it is.

Al McDicken seems to be a popular name for Vulcan test-pilots. :)
