Aeroplane Magazine Forums: Talk - Displaying the Vulcan

Squadron Leader David Thomas has almost 4,000 flying hours on Vulcans since 1964, during three squadron and two OCU tours. He flew with the RAF’s Vulcan Display Flight from 1998 until 1992 and on 23 March 1993 he was captain of the last flight of XH558.

Having worked as a Jetstream QFI and as the senior Lancaster pilot with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, David is now employed as the Chief Pilot of the Vulcan Operating Company and on 18th October 2007 took XH558 back into the air.

David will talk about his career in the RAF and in particular he will talk about his experience of displaying Avro Vulcans.

After a break for refreshments, David will host a question and answer session.
