  • Vulcan XL426 makes a real long beauty of a howl on the static blast. The brakes did well holding back all that thrust.
    It then performed a high speed taxi run making another nice resonating howl down the Southend airport runway, before deploying the chute and rolling past my position. Lovely seeing this bird up close and must say it's in fine fettle.

      That was some looong howl on the static run, lucky to be in the right spot for the camera to pick it up

      The problem is that BAE has no one who can work on the Vulcans flying controls that's why 558 can not fly anymore. It's all fly by wire and computers.

    Great to see this magnificent beast in action again. Loved watching this with my dad at RAF Valley in the late 70s and early 80s. On reflection it’s probably the cause of the six to seven different tones of tinnitus I’ve had all my life. Worth it.

    I have an old tyre from 426 when the brakes locked and it scrubbed a hole in one side. I’ve had the opportunity to sit in the cockpit and move the control surfaces.

      10000 is better used for the Vulcan to exercise than to give it as aid to some country that would stab you in the back if they had a mean’s to. So stop your crying.

      How is it a waste of money, folks have funded it themselves by paying to go and see it.. the event was sold out
      Really don't see your point. There's plenty of ways the gov wrongfully squander our money but this is totally different.. this is folks paying to be entertained by heritage. 10 grand is not a lot of money really especially spread over a few hundred folks
