Anyway the question is, how were they taken? Obviously from another aircraft but which one. I want to know more!

Yes just saw the photos - outstanding. In the video's I saw of the Vulcan there where no other aircraft but these have been taken from one with a rear facing camera ?

Well given my mate Alex didn't have his own plane I think he did quite well

But he is quite a whizz with a camera. Same day same location

Thanks for posting this OP. We were stood on the cliff edge watching the photoshoot, I was hoping to see the pics.

The photos were taken by a SkyVan

Lol, talk about beauty and the beast! 😆 Although admittedly, the beauty is a bit of a beast too. Awesome pics.

Ampthill, that Vulcan photo is stunning!
I know that the Shorts 360 was known as 'the shed', I've a suspicion that the SkVan's nickname was 'the PortaCabin'!?

Beachy's the place (shame I live in Yorkshire). Check this out (not mine) - the pilot's really ragging it, benefits of a condemned vehicle 🙁

That skyvan is ace. Thanks for all your input everyone.
I assume the Vulcan must have had to keep looping round as it would diffcult to fly at skyvan speeds?

The Vulcan was quite happy following the sky van around for the 20 or so minutes I was watching

From what I've read the Vulcan wing generates quite a bit of lift, even at low speeds, plus it handles reasonably well at lower speeds.
After all it was designed as a subsonic high altitude bomber originally.

AFAIK no Vulcan has gone supersonic in its lifetime. The stresses of doing so would almost certainly damage the airframe irreparably, coupled with the fact that it was very difficult to control at speeds approaching MACH 1.

TBh in that vid above it does look like its going very slow. I guess you assume these things are fast movers.
