Whilst travelling back from visiting my son back in October 2015 who is at university in Sheffield I caught a glimpse a Vulcan Bomber overhead as I was passing through Newark. Unknown to me at the time this was to be the very last flight of XH558 as it was returning back to its base in Doncaster after taking part in its final farewell flight. I managed to find somewhere to pull in and quickly grabbed my 60D. By the time I was ready to take the shot the Vulcan was already heading away hence the poor quality of the shot! However, when I eventually looked at the images I was amazed to see that one of my images had captured the very rare shot of a Vulcan bomber flying inverted (upside down). I later found that the pilot and co-pilot had received serious reprimands for this action. However, given that this was the very last time that they would get to fly the aircraft they thought "what the hell". Fair play to them!!
Apologies for the poor quality of the image but I have posted it purely for aircraft enthusiasts and not for photographic critique.
