The first time that I ever heard the now infamous Vulcan Howl was at en air show in Yorkshire. The Vulcan was coming in low from my front left crossing to the right. I started to run towards the front as I did not want to miss the sound of the engines. The pilot obviously opened the throttles as I was greeted by this strange howl which stopped me I my tracks. I genuinely thought there was going to be an air crash. The noise haunted me for years until I came across it on you tube .....
I remember in the 80’s during Abbotsford (BC Canada) international airshow. We were sitting on a small hill a short distance from the airport when a Vulcan flew over. I never forgot the crazy howl and the apocalyptic levels of noise. That was the heyday of airshows in Canada with so many cool aircraft flying but the Vulcan really stole the show for me that year. Now we have portable screens instead of SSTs and space tourism. Who else out there feels ripped off?
Great clip. Brings back memories when the British Air Force was still in Malta before 1979, used to live under the approch to the airfield and really had fun as a boy, looking at a the aircraft landing or taking off like the Vulcan's, Victor's, Nomrod's, Canberra's, Bucaneer's and all the rest.........Sadly in Oct 1975 a Vulcan expolded over a village killing 5 of the 7 men crew and one on the ground. Agian Great clip.
I was on holiday in Malta and saw a Vulcan take off from RAF Luqa. It looked like it was climbing vertically with the classic shape silhouetted against the sky. A bit too far to hear but beautiful in its own right.
when I was younger ,lived not far from RAF FININIGLEY,,,now Robin Hood .once a week 3 Vulcans did a 3 minute scramble ,the windows in our house use to vibrate like hell,,and if you where outside,,you could feel the rumble in your chest ,,
Remember one of her final flights at wellesbourne saluting her sister, XM655. She came down the runway low, and went into a spiral climb at close to max power, the noise was deafening. At the top the throttles were closed and every car alarm in the area was going off. Really is such a shame that it wont be ever heard like that again.
The 'Tin Triangle' has without doubt, got to be, one of finest aeroplanes ever built ,it was also the bomber together with 11 Victor tankers, that made id longest ever raid when vulcan 607 bombed the runway at port Stanley in the Falklands, a round trip of some 8000 miles
Yes correct. I was on the beach of Lido di Jesolo near Venice when it was on the return journey from the Falklands and it made a slow pass along the beach. Such an awesome sight!
Dad! Take some photos on my phone please, or on yours. No! I refuse! I’ve told you before David, I only want to see it with my eyes remember? I’m only gonna get to see it a few more times in my life so I’m gonna make sure I get a good view of it. X-D
What an awesome symphony of Mechanical Music.... she just looks like the Bring'er of Death as she swoops in like a Condor with a Fresh kill' ... That Howl just Just reaches into you and grips like a vice ..
Time stamp 1:2 “Dad take some photos on the phone” “No! I’ve told you before................ I want to see it with my own eyes............” best comment ever I wish some people would think like this at concerts; I actually witnessed people trying to film at a 3D Kraftwerk concert with mobiles, all they’d get would be a blur
Iconic sounds I have heard in person.., 1. Ted Nugent 1980 ( hibernation tapped me out). 2. Nitromethane dragster & funny Cars. 3. Supersonic F-18. 4. My Daughter’s first pathetic wail. All awesome in their own way.., I guess I will have to turn up my headphones for” the Vulcan Howl” from now on!
had a vulcan at london ont. air show back in the 80's did a touch and go and took out dozens of runway lights and the microphones of a local broadcast station, bloody great noise!!
I first saw this beautiful aircraft at the'80 Airshow at RAF Mendenhal(misp). Very capable and even today wouldn't look out of place. Stationed at RAF Lakenheth, '78-'80. Provided fire coverage when Italian demo team lost a pilot and aircraft. Sorry for misspelling Mendenhal.
I’ve been Vulcan’d twice, both times VERY low. When it’s facing you it’s all orchestral whistles and T-Rex howls, when it’s flying away from you it’s all deep bassy jet buffeting like a Saturn V.
This is the most impressive power climb of a Vulcan ever caught on camera!!!….i love Britain and I love being British it’s a shame we just don’t build shit like that anymore 😭😪💔💔💔
2:48 seconds in - I would love to see H.G.Wells time machine appear in the background and for him to see the Vulcan about to howl and blast off up into the sky as his inspiration for the Martian war machines and their great "Ulla!" cries.
This is by far not the best vulcan footage. I was privileged enough to see its last ever flight in 2015 Eastbourne Air show at Beachy Head . That is the best vulcan footage.
That sound at 2:48. THIS is what people are referring to whenever they mention the Vulcan's howl? I just thought that the term "howl" was thrown around because of how monstrously loud the plane is. I didn't know the term referred to a very specific sound (it reminds me of a loud horn you'd hear sounding the end-times). In any case, what is it about this plane's design that gives it such a noise, and why do you not see/hear anything similar on more modern planes? Thanks for any answers, in advance.
It's pretty much how she takes in so much air intake pressure, screams into in the engines and what not. It's effectively the noise created when one blows across a bottle to make the whooooosh noise, just on a much larger scale
Beautiful plane, majestic on the ground and in the air. It has always been my favorite. I'm in the process of building an rc version. However, your title and caption are merely "CLICKBAIT ". I've seen and heard better. The flyover, at Transpo 72 was amazing and earthshaking!
To think, the Uk owned, designed and built this in the 1950’s. Today, we just about assemble parts for foreign owned companies, and can barely design and build a nut and bolt on our own. Allowing these high tech industries to mostly die, does anyone really think the political parties in charge of the UK since then have done the country well, or taken it backwards. Does anyone think they will do any better in the next 70 years?
As an American, I can say this is one of the most beautiful planes to ever have flown.
Yes . The V - Bombers were ALL gorgeous . But the Vulcans were also the Scariest looking in flight . A Sense of Purpose to them .

+Stephen Pennell its a genuinely awesome sound isnt it
+eatthisvr6 oh yes....totally unique. ...
A sound that is now sadly silent
It was the RAF Church Fenton where the best display in the U.K. was held.
@@francescxavierbulto9848 I think you could be right, thanks
WOW!! Gotta love a pilot that likes to give the spotters a bit of a show! 💕
But how many times have great incidents like this been spoiled by the BLOODY WIND over the Mike.
This video will make people realise just how lucky we are to have a flying vulcan to appreciate in the skies!
Long live XH558
Unfortunately not anymore
I fell in love with her the first time I seen thunderball. But as a child at time I never knew what she was for. I just thought she was beautiful
This is one of the most gloriously heartbreaking sights and sounds
That thing is a beast!!! I wish our b52s made that type of sound!!! U britts build some cool bombers!
GHOST intheshell yeah but your lot built the B52, the plane that looks like it's nose is down as it takes off, thats pretty cool
you made the B2 and that's the coolest plane I've ever seen in my entire life so props to you
I wish they hadn’t retired it.
Such a shame she will never fly again
@PAIRa DICE B52 has turbofan engines it will never sound good , basically airliner engines, your B1 sounds awesome though

How the fuck do you balance a Vulcan like that and not tailstrike. Pilot has some serious skills.
To watch a Vulcan land, and glide down the runway like that. Grace personified, by a machine.
i'M SURE I smelt kerosene coming out of my pc watching this!
when I was younger ,lived not far from RAF FININIGLEY,,,now Robin Hood .once a week 3 Vulcans did a 3 minute scramble ,the windows in our house use to vibrate like hell,,and if you where outside,,you could feel the rumble in your chest ,,
One once shadowed a school bus back to Finningly from Retford.

This thing sounds amazing, I certainly wouldn't want to be against this in a battle, that sound coming out of the sky would be terrifying. o7
Great howl. Best bit is the guy who says "take out your towels" just before full on throttle.
Asha Hunt I have watched this video at least 50 times and I just noticed that. Thanks
Haha that’s not what he says 😂😂

yes i was calling the dad boomer :D
mayhemassault ah ok.... it was funny how the different generations view experience for sure
@@aliray1165 yes, and the dad was not wrong anyway hehe

She’s the best aircraft ҽѵҽɾ ❤️
British engineering at its best! First time I saw it was at Duxford, made the fillings in my teeth rattle 😂
Goosebumps every bloody time ❤
Iconic sounds I have heard in person..,
1. Ted Nugent 1980 ( hibernation tapped me out).
2. Nitromethane dragster & funny Cars.
3. Supersonic F-18.
4. My Daughter’s first pathetic wail.
All awesome in their own way.., I guess I will have to turn up my headphones for” the Vulcan Howl” from now on!
“Gear’s up. Get ready!” I almost shit myself.
Wow, brought a tear to my eye! Awesome!
Great silence for 2:30 and then... here comes Godzilla !
Now that is flippen awesome! One of the better howls on UA-cam indeed... Thanks!
had a vulcan at london ont. air show back in the 80's did a touch and go and took out dozens of runway lights and the microphones of a local broadcast station, bloody great noise!!
Definitely best howl on Ytube so far....others are not nearly as distinctive (on the footage).
ua-cam.com/video/w1igQoRqpBA/v-deo.html
@@martf8014 I agree.
This clip is blighted by wind noise. Although the howl at 2:50 is great.
You know you're screwed when the plane is shouting at you!
Greatest jet Warbird of all time.
can't wait to. see Vulcan at Clacton saw her in Blackpool two weeks ago brilliant
2:40 RIAT is missing out big time, fantastic :D
TorontoChannel I first experienced this at the RIAT, when it liquified my insides, but 2:30-2:50 was quite special.

Awesome!!!, just about sums up the whole experience of seeing her - will miss :( - nothing else like it.
beautiful!
I am amazed at how little smoke those turbojets produce. They got it right with this bird. Menacing.
Without a doubt, best video on youtube...
You need to see some more, then judge.
1:28 My dad used to tell me the exact same thing. The camera wasn't used much after that 😂
2.40 onwards...wow! never tire of watchin this.
I’ve been Vulcan’d twice, both times VERY low. When it’s facing you it’s all orchestral whistles and T-Rex howls, when it’s flying away from you it’s all deep bassy jet buffeting like a Saturn V.
Miss them. Cheers from Goose Bay.
Sweet. I am green with envy, I wish it would come over to the states.
It’s sadly now grounded for ever 😢
Just magical, thank you so much for sharing
grew up in Newark upon Trent
20 minutes from
RAF VBG Scampton Syston Waddington
Amazing a quite possibly the best ! Very sad to see this thing leave service next year.
Remember they said that last year
I dont like the over use of the word awesome but its fitting in this instance and truly awesome!
This is the most impressive power climb of a Vulcan ever caught on camera!!!….i love Britain and I love being British it’s a shame we just don’t build shit like that anymore 😭😪💔💔💔

I bet that wing design produces massive lift!
GHOST intheshell also generates significant drag allowing it to land on short runways and the sheer power allows it to take off from short runways too
Just a shame that you had so much horrible wind noise - should use a dead-cat on your mic.
excellently caught Damon, well done ☺
Thank you big bird
That sound it’s like death as found you 🤣
Very nice! Subscribed
Excellent for a hand-held.
This is by far not the best vulcan footage. I was privileged enough to see its last ever flight in 2015 Eastbourne Air show at Beachy Head . That is the best vulcan footage.
A great vid and yes is was pissing down over there ...
Sing my beauty!! :)
Great landing control, nose up air breaks out
I just have to paint this incredible aircraft.
What is the science behind the howl. Has there been any kind of study?
Just amazing!!!!!
At 2:48 the hairs on my neck stood up!
As good as the howl is the dry commentary by those in the vicinity is pretty good too.
Epic sound. Yes it is haunting.
i miss this plane
unique sound :-)
Everybody run for your lives, the cry of the banshee is real!
Like the very trumpets of Jericho and no, I'm not talking about Stukas.
I believe the Americans referred to the Vulcan as an "Aluminum Overcast"!
Great with that howl!
if you put the Subtitles on just before the howl, "CC"
Yeah!
Great spiral climb

T rex on steroids
There it is, folks - the howl that won the cold war, brought to you from the little bomber that thought it was a sport plane.
sorry it is not the best howl on youtube there are much better ones from this plane.
@2:47 there's a tiny howl... and that's it...
Howl and spiral climb
Great !!!
Thats why its difficult to shoot it down
Beautiful plane, majestic on the ground and in the air. It has always been my favorite. I'm in the process of building an rc version.

What howl ?
OMG!
Just like a fighter
Not bad for an Old Bird
2:49
oh yer!
We made the best aircraft in the world, then the politicians took over :(
Jet plane but flying slowly,why?
Asep Saepudin because it’s big? What a strange question.
So you can see the harbinger of Armageddon
This is no slumbering giant
That annoying ass camera clicking!!!!!
Not as anoying as the dad
No it's not
Bold statement and it's wrong. There are plenty better then this
Isn't it good to be spoilt for choice, though, now that videos are all we have left?
Sorry, but I prefer this one
ua-cam.com/video/xNV4yv8N4mA/v-deo.html
A good film would have been far BETTER with Editing!!
Heard better
Not that good !!!!! Heard much better
Jeremy Harris cool?
Did anyone else hear the second howl at 3:04
