Hi all, Highlight of the year, apart from the forming of this forum and the pleasure and fun it has produced has to be the visit to the USS Roosevelt back in March, words and photos do do the awe or size of of the carrier but its something I will remember for ever aviationforall.proboards.com/thread/1393/board-big-stick-theodore-roosevelta close second was of course witnessing the Vulcan at Popham, I wasnt expecting much more than a distant glimpse of her on the day to be honest.....but appearing low and smokey just above the tree line in the distance and heading straight for us set the hairs tingling...she continued low and fast until just before she got to us she banked and powered up after which she disapperered into the distant for one last time. I decided not to take and picures as I just wanted to savour the moment.....and what a good send off she gave all who were there I did find this cip on Utube last night, while not only showing her pass over Popham, also includes a few people from this Forum who were in attendance Jeff
