One of the highlights was the Vulcan bomber making an appearance on its last tour.  I did not expect the sheer exhilaration of seeing that kind of aircraft up close.  It was fascinating. Katrina over at Mum for Fun has written a guide to airshows for women, that would be worth checking out if you were ever to go to one: http://www.mumforfun.com/duxford-airshow-review/…
