More accurate news of the Vulcan from a correspondent:
It was actually engaged in a private display at Northampton Sywell airfield. It's done it before, winners of a raffle + I think corporate guests get to fly alongside the vulcan in other aircraft including a Spitfire 2-seater for the 1st prize.
I suspect that they popped in here to train additional pilot and/or possibly because this was scene of last display by the RAF with it. They may well have had two sessions to do at Sywell because there were 8 guests being taken up but only 5 seats on the other aircraft . It was almost 20 years to the day since the date of the last display here so that may have been very significant.

The last RAF display ever of the Vulcan, at Cranfield was on 20th September 1992 not 1987 as in your blog BTW.
Ta for that - if anyone else has interesting deets please email me on cranfield1985@gmail.com
