• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

They did it!!! Vulcan barrel roll

I heard the footage was a fake made up of a lot of still images spliced together. Did it actually happen?

Yes I also saw reference to that. Now here's the thing.

In all the displays this year the Vulcan does a wing-over. It climbs then banks, goes through 90 degrees of bank and keeps on going for another 20 or 30 degrees and then straightens up. But at Fairford on the Sunday this year, there was a lot of talk about 'that' display yesterday by Kev Rumens ...you can see it on Youtube. And certainly he does wingover much further.

What you don't see on that Youtube video but what those of us at the lecture at Gaydon was the Vulcan going right over and flying upside down!

So once you are upside down...what do you do? Roll back again? Or keep on going?

I like to think the latter! But perhaps we will never know. Is the CAA that gullible?
