Aero Legends hosted the 7th annual Battle of Britain Air Show from Headcorn Aerodrome at Ashford in Kent, England over the long weekend of June 24th through 26th. The airfield, formerly RAF Lashenden, is also home to the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum which features an incredible collection of aircraft components, recovered mainly from WWII crash sites, together with comprehensive histories of the Canadian, American and Royal Air Force squadrons based there from 1943 onwards; a visit is highly recommended.

On December 12th, the Vulcan Restoration Trust’s exercised their Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426 on the runway at London Southend Airport in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The locally-based organization maintains one of just three Vulcans which can still move under their own power on the ground. XL426 performed four, full-power taxi runs over the course of the day, providing two groups of visitors a rare treat to witness the raw power of the mighty Vulcan’s Rolls-Royce Olympus engines at ‘max chat’ as the Cold War bomber roared down the runway in a simulated take-off run.
