Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome

Wednesday 12th November 2008 saw the return of Avro Vulcan XH558 to her current home at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire. PlanesTV were at Bruntingthorpe and Farnborough, which has been the aircrafts temporary base for the last 4 weeks, to record what was potentially the aircraft's last flight.

In March 1993 the last airworthy Vulcan XH558 was retired to Bruntingthorpe joining a brace of Lightnings from the same era. Though these aircraft are unable to fly, the prospect of simply hearing them start up and make high speed runs was enough to attract a huge crowd

The airfield, once the home of the giant B47 Stratojet bombers again echoed to the sound of "Big Thunder".
