This enormous aircraft is due to land about 13.45 today at Brize Norton. I believe it is carrying 3 chinook helicopters from Afghanistan You can watch this live on utube

Saw one of these a few years ago at the Farnborough Air Show.

Was also the last time I saw a Vulcan in flight.

On take off yesterday, the jet blast wrecked plenty of the perimeter fencing. Apart from it's impressive size, it's a nice looking aircraft.
