Vulcan XM655 Taxi-Run, June 2008 |
|
|
These pictures were taken at the Wellesbourne Wings and Wheels
event on June 22nd 2008. Vulcan B.Mk.2 bomber XM655 made two
taxi-runs along the runway, one slow and one fast. The bomber is no longer airworthy but the pilot sometimes lifts the
nosewheel off the runway during fast runs, although it wasn't possible on this occasion due to a very strong crosswind
on the runway. You will notice in the pictures below that the lighting conditions were constantly changing due to the
speed with which the clouds were being blown across the sky.
