And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Three Avro Vulcan B1As of the Waddington Wing in flight sometime in 1957 flying in formation.
In order for them to get the mid-air refueling components to fly from the UK to the Falkland Islands, they had to strip parts from B-1A's in US museums. It was the last gasp from a dying empire.
saw a vulcan doing an airshow in vancouver in the 1960s. monstrously huge aircraft that can turn on a dime and fly very very slow if it needs to. spectacular takeoff and landings.
