- Old V2000 video footage of the 50 Squadron Disbandment
Flypast at RAF Waddington, March 1984.Filmed from the A15 roadside, Vulcan XL426 + BBMF Lancaster (part 1 of a total of 2 videos)
ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING TO STUMBLE ACCROSS YOUR FOOTAGE OF OTHER VULCANS AND WHILE IN SERVICE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME. AND THE ONLY THING ILL GET TO TAKE ME THERE NEXT TO TIME TRAVEL THANKS SO VERY MUCH CHEERS! HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR
I, too, was there with my V2000 portable to keep the occasion for posterity. Philips was so much better than VHS. Unfortunately, there's no-one able to transfer my many hours of airshows (mainly Vulcan) to disc nowadays.
Excellent footage of a memorable event, thank you.
Yes go girl go
unless the photos are wrong. i know 558 took over in 86 as the display bird.
The best in the world
It will be back.
1982 Falklands, i know
it interests me that this is 84, just i see photos of her in 84 that she had vdf cats on the nose and the flag on the tail, and was much more faded. but here shes darker and wearing 50 sqn badges you sure this isnt earlier
Even the russians were worried
How quickly did it launch from a standing start! Sounds so much nastier than 558.
I am no expert but I would assume that with that much power on tap, they probably limit 558 to far less than military max power to conserve engine life and fuel.
+zoso11 That's Joe L'Estrange for you! He knew no fear and what the public liked.
Everyone does things to keep the Lancaster flying ww2, but the vulcans to die preventing ww3
We made the best in the world, now look, so sad
