Wow - I was going to say I didn't think there were any left flying, then I saw the date on the picture. I probably saw that very plane  :edit: - apparently there is still one, just barely.

There is one flying one remaining. It's a privately-owned one - in fact, I have a feeling it's that very plane in my photos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan_XH558It is. XH558.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Beautiful! I love Italy. Went to Amalfi many years ago, and Sorrento. I'd love to go back. I'm loving those skies - polariser attached?

No, I forgot to buy one for the 17-50! I realised the day before we went. A couple of those pics might have been taken on the TZ7 compact too IIRC.

Thinking about it the skies are probably boosted a little as the pics are in-camera jpegs and I think it's set to give saturation and contrast a little tweak. I'd normally use RAW tbh but couldn't be arsed editing what are effectively holiday snaps when I got back. That said though the weather was tremendous!
