• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Close Encounter with a Vulcan......

Wonderful! :applause::applause::applause:

That's a sound (along with the sound of a Merlin engine) that I will never grow tired of hearing.
 
I would have loved to have been there!
There is nothing like four Olympus engines spooling up.
If everything goes well with the engine testing on XH558, I will be lucky enough to witness it during the Farnborough week :jump: (09.-15. July 2012).
 
Great stuff! I first saw XH558 two summers ago, flying in to Leuchars to begin its display before landing on. I've never seen anything so alien in the sky, you'd almost expect it to let fly with lasers and death rays. The howl of those four Olympus turbojets at takeoff is unforgettable. :icon30:
