Agreed, Gareth, there are some very interesting viewpoints around a Vulcan.
For fear that bystanders observe that we are off-topic, I must point out
that Concorde uses a development of the engines designed for Vulcan, which
are (of course) Bristol ...

if you really want to see aircraft beauty take a look at the Avro Vulcan,
its spellbinding and I think is the best looking plane ever. There are
plenty of abstract-type photo opportunites up close with a Vulcan. IMHO the
Vulcan makes Concord look like a paper plane!
All the best,
Gareth.
