Very overcast here so would not know if they flew overhead. BTW can you modify the heading of the post and correct the name "Britain"?If your out and about, and interested in aircraft here are some of the places you can see the BoB flypast flights.
Heck of a way to cycle from Leicester plus I had no passport then 😂We used to go to New Sarum near Salisbury quite often to watch the Canberras and Hunters. Also a number of Alouettes.
StunningWe went to Old Sarum to see the Vucan farewell. Very emotional as it brought back memories of when as a kid I would cycle from Leicester to RAF Cottesmore in the hope of seeing a quick reaction take of, although 4 minutes later that might have been the end of my cycling days. I never missed the annual air show.

The noise of those four Olympus went right through you. Awesome aircraft.Stunning
Especially the famous "Vulcan howl" which occurred in certain weather conditions at a particular throttle setting.The noise of those four Olympus went right through you. Awesome aircraft.
I’ve heard the “ howl” in different weather conditions and flight attitudes. I always thought it was when the throttles went above 90% and as the engines were close into the wing and fuselage with non variable intakes. The high throttle setting combined with a relatively slow speed compared to its max speed created the howl. However caused it us very distinctive. Lots of good videos on YouTube.Especially the famous "Vulcan howl" which occurred in certain weather conditions at a particular throttle setting.
You're right that it was 90% throttle at low speed - but high humidity/low air pressure made the howl more pronounced.I’ve heard the “ howl” in different weather conditions and flight attitudes.
