Ditto
However, what are Amateur Radio Hams? ("Ham" is a slang term for a Radio Amateur), one term or the other please, not mixed.
and......
The vulcan has a cult following? It's one of the greatest bombers ever built, a statement like that is like saying the dambuster lancasters caused a few splashes!
The only thing that looked "Amateur" with the possibility to develop a "cult" following is that article

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Well here she is...
XH558 - Taken over Greenham Common on a very grey and cold "Late Summer Holiday" weekend!
Very difficult to take - she moves so fast - and no tripod!

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Very good display at Dunsfold - pity about the parking (over two hours to get out).
I'll post some photos later, incl XH558.

Indeed - and they had the 'ice racing' coupes on display, including the rather dented Marina

Mustang & Spitfire together would have made me cry just to hear them - the Vulcan would have only needed to be seen - but, as we know those engines don't allow that - awesome pics, Aragorn, thanks

Airbus A380
I'm hearing that anyone in the Birmingham area at 12.30 ish pm 9th Sept = today could see Emirates taking their flagship A380 into BHX for the celebration of the airport 70th anniversary Flight EK 0039
ETA 12:35.
If the wind is in the right direction and they don't use some weirdo flight path, I should see this from home

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
No I'm afraid not, not even a single snifter,but TBH I haven't seen a single aircraft at all today. I'm waiting for feedback now from my Brother, it may have gone overhead where he lives. What annoyed me was the cloud base was sky high, & weather perfect. 
I'm not sure, but it is, more likely than not.
TBH I was more caught up in the moment, its the first time I've ever had Gawd knows how many tons, so close overhead.
