[QUOTE="brewby, post: 508530, member: 185426"] I used to live in Lincoln, they were based at RAF Waddington on a hilltop above the city, until you've heard the entire squadron taking off in the night for the flight to the Falkland islands you've not heard the full power of these beasts, my house windows were flexing under the sound pressure, the vibration could be felt underfoot as well, when any were taking off from the base, roads were closed around it to avoid vehicles being blown over, my father was a bus driver during the 60's and got caught in the thrust of onein a double decker, blew it over in seconds, luckily there was only the conductor on board. The last one I saw was at RAF Finningley air show in 1991, show stopping performance. Can't wait to see it in the air again. [/QUOTE]
