Here's my input.... I may be a bit biased as it's my daily driver

Hmmm can't seem to embed the picture on my Mac....any one able to help?

This is beautiful

Just like cars you can't beat the oldies

By far the best, two of these just flew over my house in Eastbourne, I'm sure of it

Yep there was 2 of them at airbourne yesterday

For some reason I love the C-5 Galaxy, kinda looks like a high wing 747

And also the AN-225, just for it's size! 6 engines and more wheels than you can shake a stick at!

The Vulcan, Spitfire, Lancaster (followed very closely by Concorde)

I'm gutted I won't be able to see the Vulcan at the Shoreham airshow this year as will be at the Charlton game.

I'm tempted to e-mail them and see if they'll fly over the Amex on the way to Shoreham

But they won't be there today

I'd like to add another to my list in the form of this awesome machine:

Officially, of course, it's the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, but apparently crews tend to refer to it as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat ****er). First introduced into service in 1955, current projections state that variants of it will be in service until at least the 2040's....incredible to think that one basic design could be in use for over 85 years and still be viable.

Wow! That was great

Thanks for posting!

Surpassed today by the two Lancasters flying with the Vulcan at Waddington. Seen some glorious pictures on Facebook, surely there will be something on YouTube.

Edit: see Frutos' post above

Is the Vulcan not going to be there on the Sunday?

Edit, just checked and it appears not

I was working the day these aircraft took off, fantastic sight

For those interested, there was a piece about the Lancs and the Vulcan on the ITV Evening News - presumably it will be repeated on their nightly news at 10pm or whenever.

The Vulcan pic is from today at Clacton. Not the best pic but I like the airliner in the shot as well.

City of Lincoln Lancaster. I did take some of the two Lancasters today..

B25 again, I like this shot because it looks like a toy plane against the grey sky.

Cheers, I wasn't aware of that.

Buccaneers and Victors sound well worth a watch.
