FWIW, I think that was taken at an airshow at RAAF Edinburgh in april 1970.
This IIRC was the last time a Vulcan was at an airshow in South Australia -
although they previously operated out of the base for many years on weapons
trials.


The eucalypt trees in the background - more or less - make it in Australia.
The layout - with the public parking so close to the ramp and the HF
antennae and sat dish are similar to the ones that Edinburgh had at that
time. I was 12 when I went to that airshow and it fits in with what I
remember - as does the atypical for April, low cloud cover, which
restricted the EE Lightnings to do their low-level routine.


It could also be RAAF Richmond, which had a visit at the same time, but
I'd like to think it was Edinburgh.
