These things and their era counterparts used to fly over my village daily when I was a kid in the 70's. We didn't appreciate then that we were having a vintage aircraft flypast everyday. Those memories are gold now. Cool vid. Cheers.
I was born at Nocton hall, my parents lived on RAF Scampton. I was born with vulcans. My uncle bob who served with my dad recounted a story to me when he was giving a vulcan full throttle on a test at nighttime with dad, the whole house was shaking according to my Auntiecath and mum , my twin brother and I slept through it. 😂
How none of these aren’t flying at displays anymore is beyond me it’s iconic even a legend . The howl and its thundering sound that vibrates your body ! The RAF are missing out on a remarkable recruitment aircraft
Yes, it's rather sad. When Vulcan XH558 was grounded permenantly as the airframe ran out of air hours, there was a big whole left in your flying displays. There is another Vulcan in taxiing condition now, so, who knows, maybe one day in the future that Vulcan might be restored to fly once again. I never got to see it fly when I visited the UK about 38 years ago, but, I do remember the three Vulcans doing a good will tour to Australia and to Perth where I live in the mid '80's I think it was as I was at school and remember seeing them flying over.
@@scrubsrc4084 such a pity to loose the icons of aviation I’m guessing due to mod cuts that even the RAF had to stop training on maintaining them even for practice
I wish they were still flying XH558 however the design authority’s decision was to discontinue their support and consequently the CAA would not have given it a license to fly . I did have happy days as a child , we lived at Finningly just off the runway in RAF married quarters and loved the sight and sound of them and when I think back to then it annoyed me trying to get to sleep and the noise rattling the metal windows in the house as they done circuits all night . How I wish I could travel back in time 😀
A tactical heavy nuclear bomber, launching as quick as a fighter jet. British engineering at its finest. Fun fact : The Vulcan and Victor fleet could have evaided Soviet air defences, including out manouvering small Mig interceptor jets. The Soviets were wide open to a nuclear strike by the RAF.
Thank you. I was there that day and when it banked left I was convinced it was going to fall out of the sky! Worth waiting in the traffic jam to leave just for that. Were the Russians flying that day too?
Hi thanks for your comment. The Russians had a small display with the Yak 52’s called the Cossacks . The Vulcan display was brilliant as was the weather for a change ,I miss Leuchars . Thanks for your post👍
When we had a proper airforce, air exercise were conducted with America, the idea being to test US air defence against aerial attack. In both exercises New York was hit by RAF vulcans.
I live in Lincolnshire but I've never been a Vulcan fan. Sorry. A metal triangle and a potential death-trap for the rear crew members. However...An all British aircraft and a very important weapon during the Cold War. 👍

One of the most beautiful and impressive jets to ever fly!
Never gets old
Absolutely fantastic aircraft, one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen!

@@gravydavy4188 great story , thanks for taking the time to share 👍🏻
Magnificent!!!!
Iconic plane iconic footage 👌
Watched the prototype at Farnborough, 1956, the first time we heard That Sound....a memorable moment or two.
The Vulcan makes take off effortless impressive
I was there that day. Epic.

The thing is the RAF are so woke and out of touch they couldn't care less.this RAF is not the same as the one from 20+years back

The engine and air frame makers wouldn't work on it anymore

True.
Remember then sneaking in at RAF Fairford and piling on the power, that was about 1970 I was on the refueling team then. Memories.
Always a showstopper at air shows . So miss the Leuchars air show
Sure that wasn't Cape Kennedy? What a magnificent lift-off 🚀
Magnificent
Britain designed and built beautiful aircraft in the 1950s
She climbed like a homesick angel!

The best ever

So was America, as the Vulcan demonstrated.
Vulcan made the impossible routine.

Performance Takeoff 🙂

If I remember correctly, there was a novel done about that. Anyone remember the title and who wrote it?
I used to live near there
Beautiful sound, beautiful name,, alot nicer sounding than a euro fighter. 😂
Typhoon??????
Bit iconic, don't you think?
Iconic for you, not me.
Well, hellou Shakin' Stevens!
One of the last flights
Errrr no, it flew on for another SIX years until the 28th October 2015, so most definitely NOT one of its last flights.
The running cost & maintenance are horrendous to keep it flying that is why they stopped.

My ex gf father was a Vulcan pilot who drank himself into the grave
Camera work, it’s not rocket science.
I was way way ahead of my time , don’t you know camera shake is a thing now !
Rolls Royce Olimpus you mean.
Bristol designed it , and made it Rolls Royce changed the name , it was though Bristol Olympus .
