I really like the second one - especially the guy (hangoverish ?) in the foreground is a great addition to the image.

Like them both, that triangular shaped wing on the top photo looks very interesting. They both have good clarity for a older point and shoot camera.

If the dates are right, that is likely the VX770 Vulcan prototype (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan#Vulcan_B.1_and_B.2) .

Thanks -- you must be a bit of an 'Aviation Fan' !!

No, though I was at an Air Show in later years being 'buzzed' by a Vulcan. It made a big impression on someone still in single digits!
