Looks like a Vulcan to me. I used to see them flying over my house as a kid in Norfolk.
Always reminds me of what Port Stanley airfield and Mr Spock's mum have in common.Comment

The story goes that the Yanks rang up and said "When are you sending your Vulcan?" We responded with "It's just arrived back home, you're dead!"Comment

My fave story story is how they used to 'hide' a pair of Bucs under the wings, when on exercise at Nellis, so just one big blob would appear on the radar; surprised the intercepting fighters a little!
All sorts of trickery used to go on whilst on flying exercises with the yanks. Back in the 90s I was on F3s (groundcrew) on exercise in Alaska. The scenario was that our F3s were to attack Tornado GR1s which were protected by yank F18s. The yanks had trouble though discriminatiing GR1s against F3s; so they decided if it had external fuel tanks fitted it was a GR1 as that was the standard config. Three days before the end of the exercise we were all orded to help the armourers fit external tanks to our F3s. To that end they breezed through the yank defences and 'shot' down the bomber package. The yanks didn't see the funny side though and accused us of cheating!But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment
