My father flew both Vulcans and Valiants during the 50s and 60s. I can remember the noise as they took off- deafening. We lived within a few hundred yards of the runway both at Marham and Finningley. Despite the size of the planes, the crew quarters were incredibly tight. My father used to say that getting into the captain's seat was like climbing into the driving seat of a car through the rear window.
