Bond, James Bond is not happy. Seriously, glad the bird will be OK.
Yes, as a 12 year old, I absolutely fell in love with the Vulcan as I watched Thunderbolt (about a dozen times)!
You mean Thunderball?
I guess a plowed field works as well as EMAS, a good thing!

I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the mid-70's and got to see the occasional Vulcan shoot approaches once in a while. It always looked a little strange but cool.
Was on a Vulcan base... they were amazing...
