It would have been the mid '90s.
Yes, they were running Days of Thunder* where the Vulcan would belt up and down the runway.
*I think that’s what they were called.
Hmm …NASCAR ?.. 
Cold war jets open day …I took my son there … absolutely brilliant day …I’ve never been so close to a lightning on full take off power with reheat coming on …what an experience. Also Victor plus others. Sadly no longer have these “taxi” days.
A quick Google search later, and the open days were called ‘Big Thunder’.

They have no chance of that. The ministry of planes would never grant a license for even one flight. I believe the engines are being removed as part of the move of the airframe to Manston.
Fascinating. New one to me - poundshop Connie.
