Jezza Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I appreciate it's not Triumph related but thought I'd share some of the pictures I took at Saturday's Wings & Wheels at Dunfold. Thoroughly enjoyable day out despite the inevitable rain towards the end of the day and got talking to a chap who spent 30-odd years working for Jaguar in the design and aerodynamics dept and worked on the XJ220 design work. Interesting stuff. He now owns a 911 so that tells you something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Excellent pictures of the aircraft! That Vulcan is a thing to behold isn't it? When it is climbing on full throttle you can feel the ground shake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 It sure is. The pilot gave it the beans a few times on the fly past, just to make a point The typhoon with full on afterburners isn't far off in terms of rattling your internal organs.. pilot gave it some a few times too before climbing, doing a double barrel role and rejoining normal air traffic (and heading off to another show I guess). Red arrows also pretty spectacular! All round a great display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
