WOW What a capture!!! I'd never hope to see these two beauties flying together like that... (Now if the impossible were possible and the avro arrow were in the shot, that'd be the only thing that could make this better) So Cool!

I usually don't get emotional over photos, but this one... wow.

Two of the greatest planes ever built in one amazing photo. Pity #3 on the Lanc wasn't 1/8 of a rev faster!

Vulcan is such a prominent plane, I really like how neat and smooth it's airframe is.

Incredible to think these two were pretty much less than a decade apart in terms of development.

Excellent! I'm not sure how much longer that Vulcan will be flying, but I swear to see one someday.

Great capture I was so pissed off I didnt get to see the Vulcan this year (I was supposed to be seeing it at Fairford, stupid rain...). Good to see a pic that shows two of the most important RAF aircraft together like this.

Great shot, I really love the contrast between the two classic aircraft. The colours on under the Vulcan's wing are wonderful and the angle really adds to the shot.
