Vulcan Delta bomber NQJ swoops spectacularly over the city of Coventry as a thank you to the people who helped save her.
The plane crossed the city at 2000 feet to salute those in Coventry and Warwickshire who had raised almost 5000 in three weeks to secure the aircraft from the Ministry of Defence. It will be held at the Midlands Air Museum at Baginton in the open until the planned Sir Frank Whittle hangar is built.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Vulcan Delta bomber NQJ soars gracefully over the enchanting city of Coventry, painting a breathtaking spectacle in the sky. This awe-inspiring moment serves as a heartfelt thank you to the remarkable individuals who played an instrumental role in saving this majestic aircraft. With wings outstretched and engines roaring, the plane elegantly traverses Coventry's airspace at an altitude of 2000 feet. Its purpose is to pay homage to the unwavering support and dedication shown by the people of Coventry and Warwickshire. In just three weeks, these extraordinary individuals rallied together, raising nearly £5000 to secure this cherished aircraft from the Ministry of Defence. Now safely housed at Baginton's Midlands Air Museum, this iconic piece of aviation history stands tall for all to admire until its future home within the planned Sir Frank Whittle hangar is constructed. The open-air setting allows visitors to marvel at its grandeur against a backdrop that showcases both Coventry's skyline and its vibrant cityscape. This photograph captures not only a significant moment in time but also encapsulates themes such as bravery, resilience, and community spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder that when people come together with determination and passion, they can achieve extraordinary feats. (Word count: 200)
