18:40 27 August 2015
The Vulcan flies over RAF LAkenheath after Col Robert Novotny put a request out on social media.
It was some way to say goodbye.
Among those watching from the control room gallery was base commander Colonel Robert Novotny, who had negotiated the Vulcan’s pass with the Vulcan to the Sky charity.
A self-confessed aviation fan, Col Novotny said seeing the flyover was a “thrill”.
“What an iconic airplane - it topped my expectations. To see such a beautiful aircraft side by side with our Lakenheath fighters was fantastic.
“This is not an opportunity my colleagues in the States get to have so I feel privileged,” he said.
The Vulcan’s flyover took place as it travelled from its home in Doncaster to Clacton-on-sea, where it will taking part in the town’s airshow.
Richard Clarke, trustee for Vulcan to the Sky, said the flyover was a chance to thank aviation fans who support the charity to the tune of £2m a year.
