Amazing sights in Adelaide on Christmas day 1999

turns out this wasn't the last flight - XH558 in her element again 18 Oct 2007

Visitors to Aberfoyle Park were treated to an amazing sight during Christmas Festivities at the home of Dennis and Margaret Pfeiffer.

Whilst enjoying a Murphy's Stout on the veranda during the early evening a slow rumbling noise was heard from afar. 

The ever alert Dennis said " I don't believe it - that sounds just like a Vulcan!"

In just a few seconds the magnificent sight of what MUST be the last airworthy Vulcan B2 roared overhead. In the ensuing five minutes we were treated to a low level slow speed  flypast during which the eagle-eyed Dennis jubilantly noticed the Blue Steel missile tucked cosily in its pouch under its mother.

Could this earily outlined shape be the infamous XH539 flown by the intrepid crew from AVRO and 4JSTU?



 As the Vulcan climbed away we supped another Murphy's Irish stout and were convinced we had seen the true miracle of Christmas.
