Nothing got shot down it was only simulated. I used to watch these Vulcans as a child along with the English electric lighting which flew over my house. What a fast moving aircraft that was.
Now there's a video well worth watching. English Electric Lightning versus American U2 spy plane and then a speed flight against Concorde.
Loved everything about the Vulcan...I was born in 1952 and my last child was born just as they retired it...
I also watched the Vulcans flying over my house in Hull in the 1960s, it was very impressive to say the least
I saw the Vulcan's last flight from RAF Leuchars. It was very windy that day, the Vulcan came down towards us at about 150 feet, pulled its nose up and hit the throttles. But the wind caught that massive delta wing and she drifted, still vertical over us in the crowd.
Honestly I've never heard a noise like it, and I've seen Deep Purple live. Car alarms going off, kids screaming, dogs barking. A couple of people face down on the ground.
Man, it was magic!😂
What a machine.
You need to check out Operation Black Buck, the only time the Vulcan was used in anger, as for why the Vulcans were withdrawn from service, 1) the Vulcan was designed for high altitude ( official service ceiling of 60,000ft) but was switched over to low level insertion after it was found that Soviet antiaircraft missiles could reach higher altitudes, unfortunately this exposed a flaw in in the Vulcan where the main spar suffered from metal fatigue. 2) the RAF no longer needed a pure bomber, the nuclear deterrent had been handed over to the Navy, first with Polaris then Trident.
Jolly good knowledge sir 👌
You would probably like to watch and react to "Fly wth the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert crews". This is a short film about the RAF's role in protecting the skies of the UK from various threats.
Would love to check it out!
That is a good one to watch it was very interesting even for me 🤣🤣
The Vulcans maximum ceiling height was 63,000 feet. At this time the Russian aircraft were only capable of 56,000 feet. So to keep the exercise realistic the RAF flew at that altitude.
So true, the pilot, the sailor, the soldier are the primary weapon. Their education and training combined with nerve and confidence in their training make a battle winning edge the UK have.
Absolutely! 👍
As a child I was taken to the annual air show at RAF St Athans airbase and a Vulcan always did a low level fly past, the jet engine noise was unbelievably loud. Having said that it is a beautiful looking aircraft.
Navigation equipment gives you Longitude and Latitude which gives you an accurate spot on the ground
So yo always know where you are!
Military hardware like the Vulcan only get retired when a more effective option becomes viable. Scary thought!!
Everything got replaced by nuclear submarines and missiles. Which are much harder to locate. You should look up the videos of the Falklands the greatest long range bombing raid. When Vulcans and Victors were bought back into service. Britain had a great number of nuclear bombers available in the Cold War. Including low level bpmbers capable of flying under US radar detection.
not in the uk it gets retired when penny pincher thinks it isnt worth the cost to maintain hence the state of the uk armed forces atm
No actual aircraft where shot down, it was just an exercise.
Vulcan's are now in museums, after being replaced by submarine based Ballistic Missiles at the end of the 1960's.
Only the USA (B-52), Russia (Tu-95) and China (Tu-16/H-6) keep vintage 1950's bombers in front line service, though they also use submarine based systems.
The V bombers were all designed to attack from high altitude. This was shown to be impractical when Gary Powers's U2 spy plane was shot down by a SAM2. This led to the attack profile of low-level penetration followed by a pop-up to a higher level to bomb. This meant that the thicker air at low level put more strain on the aircraft than they had been designed for. The Valiant was the first to be withdrawn following a crash where a wing fell off. The Victor was converted to a tanker aircraft where it could continue to fly at a higher altitude. The Vulcan, the more recent of the 3, soldered on until the Navy took over the Nuclear Deterrent role. Both the Victor & Vulcan were good-looking aircraft. By the time they were withdrawn, they were old aircraft whose service life was up. My complaint with the V Bombers was the Pilot & Co-pilot had ejection seats, the other 3 crew members did not. OK at high level, but a death trap at low level.
Awesome plane, used to fly over my house a.lot when I was a child. Even Russia were scared of it
Woah 🤯
The Vulcan used the same engines as Concorde, as a young boy I went to air shows and I thought I would never hear again, so loud.
The sound that the Vulcan makes is incredible I used to see them fly at RAF fairford
Hi guys , great reaction again , keep em coming , my nephew graduates tomorrow in the RAF , very proud of him , the training is very hard and strict but worth it 😃😃👍👍
Congratulations to the young man,both my father and grandfather were in the RAF 👍
@@martindunstan8043 Thanks Martin , very kind 💪💪
@Carl-Hancox no problem,will the young man be ground crew/technician/other or aircrew? My grandfather,a WO, was ground based in Portsmouth during WW II helping maintain air defence with the numerous barage balloon groups. He passed in 1990(quite a character). My father, now 84, was a dreaded snowdrop (RAF police)corporal. Hopefully, your nephew will not have too much to do with them in his career! He served all over the world and saw action in Aden in the 60s. He was based mainly at RAF grantham and loved his time in Germany in the early 60s! I'm sorry I've rambled on and whatever part your nephew is playing in the RAF I wish him an enjoyable career.✌️🇬🇧
@@martindunstan8043 Hi Martin , no worries its interesting to hear it all , especially as i now have family involved , im not sure which avenue that he is going to pursue in the RAF , but hes home on leave soon , so i will grill him then , and ill put up a postscript as and when if you like lol 😃😃👍👍
Since 1998, when the UK decommissioned its tactical WE. 177 bombs, the Trident has been the only operational nuclear weapons system in British service. The delivery system consists of four Vanguard-class submarines based at HMNB Clyde in Scotland.
Wow 🤩
Ballistic missile technology negated the need for a long range nuclear bomber.
It could fly higher but it simulated what Russia had
Okay 👍
Russia had nothing like the vulcan
No it didn't, nobody had anything at the time that could even get close to the Vulcan especially the Russians
That's what I said, it simulated the Russians but it was capable of going higher.
Biggest doesnt mean best!
I also live in doncaster where they were kept. I saw the last flight driving down the motorway a couple pf years ago. A real tear jerker. Love that plane!
Mark Felton also did a video on the English Electric Lightning. That passed an American U2 spy plane at altitude, and passed Concorde in level flight.
The Vulcan bomber also did the longest bombing raid, Ascension Island to the Falklands.
The British developed a far superior plane called the TSR2 in the 1960's, but scrapped that as well. Britain can't afford to do it all. When the Vulcan retired it would have been a easy target for most nations, being too slow. Having said that in 1982 the Vulcans carried out the longest bombing missions in history at that time, 7,600 miles.
If it hit`s the fan those remaining aircraft could be called into service, everything is better than nothing...
no Labour scrapped it for a cheaper us piece of .... that couldn't do the job cost the UK more in long run
The Vulcan bombers were eventually retired because with the advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles there was no need for an aircraft delivery system anymore.
They improved the aircraft as a whole, retiring it made more sense, then you can build a completely new one that out performs the last one in every way. Be that the navigation, the radar, the speed, the maneuverability, the hights they can reach, the payload they can deliver plus not to mention anything else that modern tech has improved. Hope that helps a little. Great reaction 😊
Thanks alot 👍
just listen to Videos on the Vulcan howl at full volume you get a small dose of what it really sounded like i love the Vulcan
The Vulcan (& other V Bombers) had a 5 man crew, 2 of whom were Navigators.
The UK changed its Nuclear strategy from airborne, to submarine based nuclear deterrent
Oh wow, that’s impressive
I think we should have both tbh
@@lewisjacques5875 @starrlarh I guess that’s impractical as the UK would need to develop or buy in a suitable aircraft.
The UK has invested heavily in its ‘always at sea’ nuclear deterrent, with its 4 Vangaurd class submarines, costing £3 billion each, and the investment in the 7 Astute class submarines, 5 of which are complete and in service, costing around £1.7 billion each
I have looked round one Vulcan bomber at Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire, I have seen a Vulcan putting on a display at airshows at various air bases also an airport a former bomber base during The Second World War Humberside Airport.
Wow.
Sky shield 2 had a 5 times greater advantage to the US than sky shield 1 and planes still made it through US air defenses.
The RAF developed something even better. But the Vulcans were very impressive.🤣👍🏻🇬🇧❤️
A Vulcan did a flyover of England for the Queen's Jubilee.
The Vulcan is stillmone of the most beautiful pieces of engineering man has innovated. You might be interested in a documentary about ISIS by Ex SAS Phil Campion. Tough but very informative watch. Bless P.S. Don't show adverts unless their paying! 😃 Takecare.
It was an exercise, but like in children's games if you get seen or caught you cannot play any more, so they use shot down just as a saying.. Military actually used to call these exercises War Games. Remember too they had grounded all the planes over US and Canada, had it been a real attack from Russia those planes would not have had time to be grounded.. part of the reason Military fly so much higher.
The Vulcan left service as Britains nuclear deterrent was switched from aircraft to submarines. It was only ever used for real in one conflict, the Falklands War in 1982, when it became the longest bombing mission in history, only beaten more recently by a B52 stealth bomber.
They have invitation systems built in but if they fail then you follow a bearing on a compass, it’s no different to being at sea….
Long haul commercial flights get up to about 48000 feet these days
i can remember going to an air show in the uk where the vulcan did a take off and flyby , when doing a flyby the noise from the vulcan set off every car alarm at the show
The Vulcan's noise was immense‼️ it made my ears pop and my walls vibrate, when it flew out over the bay 4 miles away for an airshow‼️ Yeah noisey a f ouch‼️😷♥️🇬🇧
Thanks so much for sharing this video ❤
All the fighter jets ( interceptors ) needed to do to confirm a kill was to get a weapon system lock on. No munitions were fired.
As others have mentioned, check out the QRF exercise out of RAF Coninsbury, Linconshire England. That's the modern day interceptor the Typhoon Euro fighter jets..
we knew about this in the uk
We have modern aircraft that do this work now! But the Vulcan was the Boss for 50 years!!!
Avro Vulcan first flight in 1952 operational 1956, retired in 1984 = 32 years not 50.
The pilots plot their course before launch. They keep track of their course and make corrections. Now they use GPS😊
The US and UK now share weapon and plane technology, amongst many other things
And nuclear
They use the aircraft’s cameras for confirmations
Mark Felton makes some amazing videos
most aircraft dont exceed 40k feet, thats commercial not milatary, ,
Actually!
Thanks
This was the days of The Cold War where Russia ( then much larger and called the USSR - United States of Soviet Russia) and the threat of Communism was very real. The USA was one of the vulnerable countries and wanted to ensure they had secured their borders from attack so invited the UK and others to an exercise to see if they could penetrate the defences thus highlighting the weak spots. NOBODY was actually killed or shot down. These exercises still happen today!
To find out where you are you open the window and look down?LOL
Hi Folks, watching you all reminds me of watching TV with my family as a child.
I thought I would bring to your attention that as good as the RAF is, it is not the UKs only military airforce.
Both the British Army and Royal Navy have their own air forces and some say they are more skilled than the RAF!
(The Royal Navy aircraft operating at sea, take off and land on ships, requiring more skill than landing at an airfield )
It is not mentioned in the videos you watched, but the Royal Navy's pilots were also fighting in the Battle of Britain.
Britain's most experienced pilot was a Royal Navy pilot, not RAF. Even today, he holds the world record for flying the most types of aircraft and the first pilot to land a jet aircraft on a ship (1945).
It is also worth mentioning that the united states copied the Royal Navy when operating jets at sea.
They had a terrible safety record until they included the Royal Navy's safety systems like angled fligfht decks and landing lights (glide slope indicators).
Finally, I would like to thank you for the time and effort you all give, to make these videos to entertain me. It is very much appreciated.
Absolutely!
Thanks a lot 👍
It's called using a compass to know your direction etc. No aircraft were actually shot down, but pretended, just as they didn't really drop any nuclear bombs. It was a training exercise, where they do everything as if it's real, but do not actually attack. It's a practice fight. But nobody had a plane as good as the Vulcan. The Vulcan got old & out of date, when newer technology came along. They were used to bomb the Falklands in 1982. The need to have nuclear bombers was reduced because missiles were developed to fire nuclear bombs, so why risk pilots. Britain's nuclear weapons are carried by submarines now that can fire them at any place in the world, & they are hard to find & more difficult to destroy than planes.
vulcan the roman god of fire, an appropriate name for the plane
No one acxtually gets shot down...the interceptors get into position to do so and that counts as a hit.
Enjoy your channel guys 👍🇬🇧
All you need is a compass!
I've been waiting for this video 😊
Don't mess with the RAF
America wouldn't be the force it is today without the UK. In WW1, they sent 300,000 troops to the UK - none of which had any battle experience, and we spent ages training them b4 they fought. This included and \helping them set up Delta Force; it's a long list.
Why can't you just watch it first then comment after , it's really frustrating to keep stopping and starting and commenting, or is it just me !!!
Very annoying.
Paintball RAF style😂
😂🤣🤣
Biggest difference is in the US, everything they do is they are told the best or greatest, everyone everyday in the US are fed the myth that is the USA,let's not forget the greatest military in the world got chased out of Korea in the 50s,so they decided they would invite themselves into a already colonial war between the French and the North Vietnamese and they after 10yrs ran like little chickens to get out of there,then let's fast forward to recent events of the world's greatest protected air space embarrassed by a few planes they just flew right up to there face and we had 9/11, then after about 20yrs of cleansing the world of Islamic terrorism? The world is again and possibly for the last time going into a war that the Americans are to chicken to have sorted out years ago with their greatest Biggest military ever.
Think you get my point? Love you guy's
I was doing gate duty at the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain at Middle Wallop near Salisbury, we had a Vulcan ( I was stood on the runway) as it took off with full afterburner......... the whine was incredible.
It came back to run the runway on its rear wheels, nose skyward and literally scorched the tarmac taking off !! It was a beast.
During the 50's and 60's us Brits had an aircraft industry that was innovative ( harrier and kestrel) that morphed into the F-35 from the yanks AV8-B our harrier.........
The Vulcan did not have an aftherburner
it was an exercise no plane was shot down
dont you think they have something better now thats why the volcan bomber was retired
Compass
Watch the British sas obie one Nairobi
Will someone explain SIMULATED to guy with the Base ball Cap or has i like to Call .IQ REDUCER..
Your microphone is not load enough.
Not really Shot Down .
It's that I could of been shot down if it wasn't the vulcan doing it
Shot down is just like locking on with arms to say you're dead a bit like tag!!!
They were getting too old
FFS have they never heard of a compass.
You are a sad reflection on your education. Navigation has been around for thousands of years , land sea and of late air .Cann no longer watch as it is too painful .
If you can photograph the plane it’s simulated as being shot down - I am an ex Vulcan guy
