Falklands War veteran Avro Vulcan B.2 XM597 preserved in the open air at East Fortune, near Edinburgh. This was one of the two aircraft that flew the 'Black buck' missions against Argentine radar at Port Stanley, and which had to divert to Rio De Janeiro in Brazil because of a broken refuelling probe.

The Blue Steel missile and the Vulcan make this a potent picture. The light is perfect.

Thanks Wallace. It helped that there weren't many folk around too.
