The shadow of an RAF Vulcan B2 about to pass over the wreckage of USAAF B-24D “Lady Be Good” in the Sahara. The Liberator was lost in the desert due to navigational error in 1943, following a bombing raid on Naples. The in-service dates for these two types were only 11 years apart.

Seeing (hearing!) Vulcans at airshows was a childhood highlight for me.
