Vulcan XH558 came back to its birthplace at Woodford in June 2015 for an emotional farewell as this was its last season in flight. Thousands turned out around the former airfield and factory to see this wonderful plane put in a couple of flypasts. Most people were very quiet as it headed off over Alderley Edge and a legend was gone.

Vulcan XH558 came back to its birthplace at Woodford this afternoon for an emotional farewell as this is its last season in flight. Thousands turned out around the former airfield and factory to see this wonderful plane put in a couple of flypasts. Most people were very quiet as it headed off over Alderley Edge and a legend was gone.

The centre of the town of Woomera features a large display of missiles, bombs and planes developed and used on the rocket testing range established from 1947. A night visit yielded a number of views including the public telephone box seen below the tail of a Canberra Bomber. Unless testing is taking place the population of the town is very small. This evening we didn't see a soul.
