I'd be inclined to agree.

Although I am slightly biased towards the Comet
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

Had a VC10 fly out of Church Fenton this morning. Never seen anything that big fly out from there in recent years. Absolutely stunning :)

Edit:-
That's pic has just made it as my desktop background (well, for a while at least).
