Sorry for the poor quality of this shot that I found over the weekend at home. I took this in the late 80's and it shows the burning of Victor K.1A XH590 (at least I think it is this airframe). In the foreground you can just make out the remains of Vulcan B.2 XM657 and behind Vulcan B.2 XL386. Also sneaking into shot is Argosy E.1 XN855. Apologies again for the poor quality :(

How well I remember that place!
