well played for filming this, its the best footage of vulcan ive seen, you recorded a piece of history here, very very rare to capture an overshoot. thanks so much i keep watching this over and over.
most definitely the greatest plane of all time, seen it up and down the country over the years, from Barton to valley, it never fails to give me goosebumps. I've watched pretty much every available clip but this is by far the best and as close as your gonna get to understanding what its like to see live. cheers
Glad your back Buddy , thought we'd lost you ! Remember Farnborough as a kid and being in this situation , how LOUD IS IT GOING TO GET , people not knowing what to do - should I run away (where ?) and as it turns my insides are being turned to Jelly by the thunder that goes right through . AWESOME is the only word that comes close . One of my favourite vids .
Ha I love the way the bloke in front bottles it & takes a few steps to his left. Awsome video. I can vaugley remember these things at Malling. I,ve sent my text to help keep this fantasic bird flying.
This was an arrival day missed approach, not done on purpose as many seem to think. Check the air brakes on top of the wings; they're out in the landing configuration. When the Vulcan did a flypast, touch and go etc, they're closed. You can also see his sink rate was far too high to get across the threshold let alone hit the aiming point.
I disagree, it was most definitely on purpose. Pilots very rarely accidentally initiate a go around without meaning to. You're right about the reason they deliberately made a go-round though, looks to me like they would likely have touched down right around where the camera is had they let that continue. But yes, a botched approach will make you very purposefully initiate what we see in the video.
@@lelsewherelelsewhere9435 I'd suggest he likely wasn't even aware of them. Visibility below the nose isn't good in most aircraft that size because.... well the nose gets in the way. Out at a distance you'd see, but people are going to be the size of ants at that distance.in close you could sit up and lean forward to try and see over the nose, but why would you, especially in the late phases of landing when you're completely focused on the runway and making sure you're going to touchdown in the spot you want too. Nah, they were coming up short of the touchdown point so took it around for another go, it's not too uncommon, there's alot of factors at play and sometimes pilots misjudge or get caught out by unexpected changes, like a gust of wind or a down draft. There trained to do exactly what these pilots did if something isn't going to plan. Abort the landing, get the power on, climb to a safe altitude and come back for another attempt, it's just more impressive than the average when it involves a Vulcan :)
I agree it was most likely a missed approach. The aircraft was in landing config. Landing lights on, gear down, and on a glide slope. You see the pilot make an adjustment and then decide to go around as he was coming in short of the runway by a few hundred yards. The aircraft was still descending seconds after applying full power. The aircraft was well short of the runway and still not making enough power to climb. When it did begin to climb it was still short and very low. Seconds from a belly flop. There might be an incident report.
Awesome video clip. Saw this fly overhead today heading west to east along the UK south coast. Shoreham airshow nr brighton and also bournmouth airshow today. Flew so low and slow it was amazing!
I've said this before. I don't think he'd intended to go around. HE WAS SHORT! He had to go around. That fire up cost thousands of pounds, and no charity would waste such money. Maybe he caught a crosswind, who knows. This used to happen quite regularly to Nimrods at St Mawgan, unscheduled go-arounds due to crosswind downdraft. They overcame it by having all aircraft land from the north where it was much less likely.
Pretty sure he did intend to go around. It's pretty hard to push the throttles up accidentally.... And.... what even is an unscheduled go-around?? That describes literally every go-around, you think pilots are planning to have unstable approaches ahead of time, runway incursions, etc ahead of time? No, a go-around is purely reactionary. If you plan it ahead of time it's a low approach, not a go-around.
@@Streaky100001 If it's a low approach it's not a go around? Bollocks. He was in landing config with landing lights on and gear down, missed the glide slope and was coming in short. He applied full power well before the aircraft began climbing away very close to the ground, but short of the runway, i.e., full power was applied, but the aircraft was still descending very low due to not making enough power to climb. He was very close to the ground when the engine made enough power to climb. That's not something you do for a party trick, because it's one of the most dangerous situations an aircraft can be in. It was a go around due to a missed approach, i.e., low approach as you call it. That pilot's heart would have been pumping like crazy. If the pilot had applied full power a few seconds later than was done, the aircraft may have impacted before the runway threshold that it was still some distance from.
@@aquilarossa5191 I never said this was a low approach. What I said was that all go around by definition are unscheduled. It's a reaction to something, not the original intention. If the original intention is to descend towards the runway as if landing, then power up and climb away, that maneuver is known as a low approach. It absolutely does happen, but is if course planned ahead, and they're not going to get low enough for it to be dangerous.
The thing with the older generation engines from the 50s and 60s is that if you just pinned the throttle you'd flood the engine with fuel and it would stall. So the way to throttle up was slowly increasing the throttles. This makes it even better in this clip with the slow spool up for impending hearing loss.
Never tire of seeing xh558 used to work at robinhood doing security used to see it everyday walk around it and under it just amazing,sadly sat outside now to the elements
Awesome! I bet your heart wanted to burst out of your chest & leg it being faced with that chest pounding "HOWL" at close proximity. The best plane in the WORLD, who cares about flight/display stats. Static or Airbourne she will always pull record crowds!
HAHAHA!!..this video is awesome!!..I love your enthusiasm and the barely audible..'F**KING HELL' over the Vulcan's evil, satanic, mind bending banshee howl!!...thanks for sharing..total class...I still have goosebumps!
Love it!!! I Would soooooo loved to have been there wiv you lot!!!! Not many people today can claim to have been Buzzed by a Vulcan... Top video!!! lol :-)
What "Stunt" ? That was nothing more than a go-around/missed approach. It's a standard procedure every pilot is taught practically from the first landing they ever make. If things don't look quite right as you're coming in to land put the power on, climb away and come back around and have another stab at it.
My dad was in the RAF Regiment and was in Tengah during The Malay Incident. He was on a Bofor at the end of the runway (or out recovering downed pilots) and said the Vulcans and Lightnings used to do this and blow them all off the gun emplacement.
Proper job!!!!!!!!!! Real meat and two veg that is. Thanks for the vid, was contemplating going to the airfield that night as a few jets were buzzing the house, only then found the vulcan twitter site reporting that they were landing as I was reading the page!!! Oh hum, too late, there to see her leave though, worth it, a proper aeroplane. Don't make' em like that anymore.
Looked like a missed approach to me. He was coming in well short, so wound up the engines for go around. It took a few seconds from applying power to getting the increased thrust and being able to climb away. He was still descending as the engines wound up and he began to climb very low to the ground and still short of the threshold.
Had to look through my notes but here are the statistics from 2008 : 28 successful displays . 17 displays cancelled (seven due to bad weather, 10 due to mechanical failure) . Doesn't look like 86% to me .
This is THE Vulcan video. Everything about it is perfect, from the spooked sheep to the most spine-chilling howl and roar I've seen on any recording.
One of the sheep actually died of fright. XH558 has carried a sheep's head on the side ever since...
Total agree
Quite possibly the greatest UA-cam video ever! I never tire of watching this!
starting the Video and reading comments.. saw yours was like hmmm rly ? :/ but then the plane came.... and yes it is the greatest video on UA-cam :D
100% the best video mate! Used to go see her every year at Leuchars Airshow. It’s embarrassing missing a bloody plane this much. What a machine!
By far my favourite video on UA-cam. Gutted we'll never get to experience her this way again

Keep on coming back to this. The sound of power!
Possibly the best Vulcan clip I've seen.
Even the sheep made a run for it!
Still my favourite video from Yeovilton - ever. Even though it was 5 years ago. Awesome stuff.
British engineering, told the Partner back in the day they made them functional, beautiful and sound amazing.
Sounds like a dragon taking a deep breath before breathing fire.... bloody awesome
That thing shook the ground! I'm a grown up with a daughter and still that fucking scares me!
That is the best sound I have ever heard come from a jet engine. Thanks for sharing.
The best video of this amazing piece of history anyone could ever find.
If you listen to this through a sound bar at 50% volume it’s sounds like you were there 🤣

Remember watching it at an air show at Woodford years ago and it setting off all of the car alarms!
Thanks for posting.
Awesome! Best clip I have seen of the Vulcan. It captures the visual as well as the sound. Brilliant....

Why have i only just found this video?
SPECTACULAR!!!
It's now 2019 and I've only just found it 😣
Probably the best UA-cam vid ever 😍
Fantastic - great video, great aircraft, great commentary, especially the 'Holy.....'. Thanks for posting
Ian
I love that sound! Seriously they NEED to make planes like that today, any enemy would leg it at a howl like that
As soon as you heard the engines spooling back up you knew your ears were gone ahahaha
Absolutly brilliant video. I actually had a shiver run down my spine when it powered up and the "howl" roared out!! 5/5*
Pretty sad some people have re-uploaded this excellent video without credit
The best howl out there.
One of the best sounds in the world :)
loved the throttle increase on approach, sounded awesome !

great video the sheep and farmer at the back made is so priceless lol
Still my favourite vulcan video on youtube. Well done Jodie Winter
Lol that's brilliant, there's a direct correlation between the speed of the sheep and the engine's spoiling up. Hahaha!
+john creed One of the sheep actually died of a heart attack on the spot... I understand XH558 carries a sheep 'kill' marking as a result!
What a fantastic video
Dude, awesome approach and acsent. I have the official Vulcan calendar. I love this plane, long may she fly
Never tire of seeing xh558 used to work at robinhood doing security used to see it everyday walk around it and under it just amazing,sadly sat outside now to the elements

i think i just had a man crisis haha. Thanks for uploading. great video!
absolutely effin brilliant !!!!!!!!!once in a life time experience,thanks for sharing
This plane should still be flying come on we can keep spitfires in the air why not this master piece.
excellent vid,at one point I thought you were going to get sucked into the engines!!
Love it!!! I Would soooooo loved to have been there wiv you lot!!!!
Not many people today can claim to have been Buzzed by a Vulcan...
Top video!!! lol :-)

what a fucking nice sound of the engines when he is throttling

i thought my speakers would explode! awesome plane! saw it in the netherlands xD
Must be the best vulcan overshoot ever! I love this vidio well done (-'
Wow! Awesome.
Best video ever!
Vulcan, Spitfire, Lancaster, Hurricane, Concorde, (French helped a bit) we knew how to build planes
If anyone claims the B-52 or anything is better than a Vulcan, I think I can just show them this video and convert them. Great vid!
haha look at the sheep :D
they died.

dammit i had my earphones in
RIP flossy.. lol (apparently one of the sheep was literally frightened to death!!)
holyFFFFWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Who filmed this ? Shakin` Stephen`s ? Nice to do a missed approach for the fans.
I love this video,has to be the best . I wish i'd been there.
is that Graham I hear :))) wicked video, love it when she rips open, superb filming. Ross 5*

WOW! That was amazing. But just how did you get to stand where you were???
absolutely beautiful
I'm proud to say i've seen this very aircraft fly.
Look at all the sheep running in the background before the Vulcan passes overhead! Lovely aircraft!
Damn talk about an entrance! Holy Shiyat! 😂
Amazing.
It was retired in 1984 and only one remains airworthy, Avro Vulcan XH558.
Nice
even in stable flight this Jet looks like it going to fall out of thei sky at any moment lmao.
The Amy Winehouse of the airshow circuit...
I have seen nine vulcans take off in threes,3 squadrons, that was

No shit sherlock, I thought it was accidental!
