Mike Kilo Victor One, Passing Clouds' preserved Vulcan bomber, did just that over the weekend when chief test pilot, Tiger Roberts, lit the main engines and roared the super-bird into the skies over Rhyl and Prestatyn.After taking off from Herron-Gwlad runway, Mike Kilo Victor One banked sharply to the right, sweeping majestically over the Great Orme and delighting a large group of spectators gathered for the event.
“She’s handling beautifully,” radioed Tiger from the cockpit as he studied all the complicated systems that keep the mighty Vulcan riding high in the sky. The forty minute sweep over Liverpool bay concluded with a text book touch down back at Herron-Gwlad.
