A stunning image of a Vulcan bomber taking to the skies from the EU Referendum Blog. Your correspondent remembers one of these flying over his house when he was a small boy, and the sight - and the sound, oh the sound! - of it never leaves you. This is the Vulcan's first air show appearance in 15 years.

This bomber is said to be the only one of its kind still flying and has recently been restored by a team of devotees. An estimated 125,000 people watched its flight from the International Air Show. 

From the Waddington air show: More photos on the EU Ref's other site, Defence of the Realm. More on the restoration of this amazing aeroplane here.
